Abstract

The efficacy of high-dose simvastatin (40 mg/day) therapy initiated in acute stage of ischemic stroke was evaluated in 12-month comparative randomized study. Simvastatin 40 mg/day prescribed along with neuroprotective and antihypertensive therapy in acute stage of ischemic stroke reduces the number of recurrent cardiovascular events, induces positive dynamics of neurological status and a regression of endothelial dysfunction shown by a significant decrease in the number of circulating desquamated endotheliocytes.

Keywords
