Distinct phenotype of isolated dizziness stroke: association with cerebellar infarctions and elevated LDL-C
In patients with confirmed acute cerebral infarction, those presenting with isolated dizziness/vertigo (IDV) represent a distinct phenotype characterized by a predisposition to cerebellar infarctions and a higher atherogenic lipid burden, specifically elevated LDL-C. These findings challenge the notion of a benign underlying vasculopathy in IDV stroke and underscore the necessity of comprehensive vascular assessment, including lipid profiling, in this patient population.
