Questions and Answers

What does the evidence suggest about long-term intensive statin therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke?

  • It increases the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke and cardiovascular events
  • It is only effective if started immediately after the stroke
  • It has no impact on the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke and cardiovascular events
  • It is associated with a reduced risk of recurrent ischemic stroke and cardiovascular events (correct)

    • What did the single-center randomized controlled trial reveal about continuation of statin treatment in the acute phase of ischemic stroke?

  • It increased the rate of death or dependency at three months
  • It was only effective in patients not previously treated with statins
  • It resulted in a significantly lower rate of death or dependency at three months (correct)
  • It had no impact on the rate of death or dependency at three months

    • What is the suggested approach regarding statin therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke?

  • Avoiding statin treatment in the acute phase of ischemic stroke
  • Using statin treatment only if the patient has a history of cardiovascular events
  • Starting or continuing statin treatment as soon as oral medications can be used safely (correct)
  • Delaying statin treatment until the patient is fully recovered
