Hemorrhagic Stroke in the Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Levels Study
Neurol 70:2364-2370,2355, Goldstein,L.B.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke was more frequent in those treated with atorvastatin, in those with a hemorrhagic stroke as an entry event, in men, and increased with age. Those with Stage 2 hypertension at the last visit prior to the hemorrhagic stroke were also at increased risk. Treatment did not disproportionately affect the hemorrhagic stroke risk associated with these other factors. There were no relationships between hemorrhage risk and baseline low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level or recent LDL cholesterol level in treated patients.
