Abstract:
Although current epidemiological studies have not demonstrated that there is an association between serum cholesterol concentration and stroke, the effect of statins has been confirmed in the high-risk (mainly coronary heart disease, diabetes or hypertension) and advanced-age populations in the primary prevention studies. Statins have a good safety profile, and they do not increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. The effect of statins in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke remains to be confirmed by the Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Levels (SPARCL) Study.
