Reduction in early stroke risk in carotid stenosis with transient ischemic attack associated with statin treatment.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Statins reduce stroke risk when initiated months after transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke and reduce early vascular events in acute coronary syndromes, possibly via pleiotropic plaque stabilization. Few data exist on acute statin use in TIA. We aimed to determine whether...
