Previous Statin Use Is Not Associated With an Increased Prevalence or Degree of Gradient-Echo Lesions in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack

Abstract

Previous statin therapy was not associated with the prevalence or degree of microhemorrhages in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. The association between statins and intracerebral hemorrhage does not appear to be mediated through microhemorrhages.
