Quick Statin Use After Stroke Cuts Mortality


 

Dr. Flint said that he had no disclosures.

* CORRECTION, 3/4/2011: An earlier version of this article stated that some study participants took statins intermittently prior to having a stroke. However, the study included only patients who were taking a statin for at least 3 months prior to the stroke or those not taking a statin at all. This version has been updated.
