Low LDL Cholesterol May Increase Hemorrhagic Stroke Risk, But More Research Is Needed
Two studies linked low LDL cholesterol levels (below 70 mg/dL) to a higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke, but this effect was primarily observed in individuals without cholesterol-lowering medication and may be offset by reduced risk of other cardiovascular events.

Beta-blockers Ineffective for Some Post-Heart Attack Patients: REBOOT Trial
A major international study, REBOOT, found that beta-blockers provide no clear benefit for patients with normal heart function after uncomplicated heart attacks, and even increased mortality risk in women.

Shingles Vaccine Linked to Reduced Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke
A new study funded by GSK, the manufacturer of a shingles vaccine, found that adults who received the shingles vaccine had an 18% lower risk of major cardiac events, with a 16% reduction among those over 50; however, the study's observational nature prevents establishing direct causality.
