RESUMEN
Statins can substantially lower the incidence of cerebral ischemia and attenuate cerebral ischemic injury. Statins may exert their protective effects via different mechanisms, including stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques, improving endothelial function, reducing inflammatory reaction and reperfusion injury. Moreover, they may also reduce the occurrence of dementia by preventing ?-amyloid from formation and reducing secretion of apolipoprotein E.
