    ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of statins on the cerebral haemodynamics of ischemic stroke patients with transcranial Doppler (TCD).Methods70 inpatients with acute ischemic stroke were divided into two groups according whether they had taken statins after stroke. The change of the cerebral haemodynamics was studied in the two groups with TCD three months after stroke.ResultsThree months later, the systolic flow velocities and mean flow velocities of bilateral middle cerebral arteries in the statins groups significantly increased (P <0.05). The pulse index of bilateral middle cerebral arteries in statins group significantly decreased (P <0.05). The flow velocities and pulse index of bilateral middle cerebral arteries in control group don't change significantly (P > 0.05).ConclusionsStatins may have the effects of improving the situation of cerebral haemodynamics of patients with ischemic stroke.
