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.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest: Causes, Prevention, and Survival
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), where the heart abruptly stops beating, claims the lives of roughly 380,000 Americans annually, with only 10% surviving; coronary artery disease is the main cause, often leading to ventricular fibrillation, a fatal heart rhythm.
