Statins for acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
Stroke, 2009 Statins have been claimed to be effective in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. The potential positive actions of statins during an acute cerebrovascular ischemic event are two-fold: a neuroprotective effect, limiting damage and improving recovery; and a preventative effect on early recurrence.To quantify the potential benefits and harms of statins in
