  1. The patients were categorized using the acute National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as having severe (NIHSS score 5.91–25.25), moderate (NIHSS score 1.61–5.90) or mild (NIHSS stroke 0–1.60) stroke. If not otherwise stated, data are shown as means (if not otherwise stated) and ± SEM. In addition, n is shown as numbers vary due to missing data. Differences between severe and mild stroke were examined by ANOVA. ns not significant, LDL low-density lipoprotein, BMI body mass index, CRP C-reactive protein, CAD History of Coronary Artery Disease before the event; Atrial fibr, Atrial Fibrillation before the event; Smoking, Current Smoking. agiven as geometric mean and ± SEM
