Lipid-Lowering Agent Use at Ischemic Stroke Onset is Associated with Decreased Mortality
Neurol 65:253-258, Elkind,M.S.V.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Patients taking lipid-lowering agents (LLAs) at the time of an ishcemic stroke may have lower poststroke mortality and a lower risk of worsening during hospitalization. Prospective studies are warranted to determine whether LLAs, and statins in particular, have neuroprotective properties or other beneficial effects in acute ischemic stroke.
