Intensive Versus Moderate Statin‐Based Therapies in Patients With Mild Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study

Statins are widely used for treating patients with ischemic stroke at risk of secondary cerebrovascular events. It is unknown whether Asian populations benefit from more intensive statin-based therapy for stroke recurrence. Therefore, in the present study we evaluated the effectiveness and safety of high-dose and moderate-dose statins for patients who had experienced mild ischemic stroke during the acute period.
