Background and Purpose—Multiple studies suggest that statin use before acute ischemic
stroke is associated with improved functional outcome. However, available evidence is …

Background Statins reportedly improve clinical outcomes for ischemic stroke patients.
However, it is unclear whether the contribution of statin treatment varies depending on the …

Background and Purpose—Although experimental data suggest that statin therapy may
improve neurological outcome after acute cerebral ischemia, the results from clinical studies …

Although statin therapy has been shown to be effective in the prevention of ischemic stroke,
its effect on stroke severity and early outcome is still controversial. We aimed to evaluate the …

Background: Statins have neuroprotective effects against ischemic stroke. However,
associations between pre-stroke statin treatment and initial stroke severity and between the …

In addition to their lipid‐lowering effects, it has been speculated that statins may also have
beneficial effects on cerebral circulation and brain parenchyma during ischaemic stroke and …

Background: Trial evidence supports statin use after ischemic stroke and recent American,
European and British guidelines recommend high-intensity statins for this indication. Limited …

Background and Purpose Statins have pleiotropic effects of potential neuroprotection.
However, because of lack of large randomized clinical trials, current guidelines do not …

Background: Statin treatment is effective at preventing adverse vascular events after
ischemic stroke (IS). However, many patients fail to use statins after IS. We studied the …

Background and Purpose—Statins improve infarct volume and neurological outcome in
animal stroke models. We investigated the relationship between statin therapy and ischemic …
