Abstract:
An increasing numaber of clinical trials have confimed the cholesterol-independent effects of statins.Recent clinical observations have found that using statins before the onset of ischemic stroke and during the acute stage can greatly lessen the severity of neurological defi-cits,reduce the mortality,and improve the prognosis;and that for patients with long-term statius treatmem,who withdraw the drug abruptly,may aggravate stroke lesions,and increase the risk of relapse.Although the use of statius may slightly increase the risk of bleeding,undoubtedly,the use of statins has become one of the most important approaches in the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke.
