Abstract
Recent studies have shown that as the average life expectancy increases, more people will suffer a stroke in their lives, diminishing their quality of life. Secondary stroke prevention involves reducing the cardiovascular risk factors and administering medication for preventive purposes, where statins play an important role. The purpose of this study is to highlight the correlations of statins dosage with cardiovascular risk factors (atheromatosis, uric acid value, obesity, etc), in stroke patients receiving hypolipidemic treatment with statins.

Experimental part The purpose of this study is to highlight the correlations between the value of statins and other cardiovascular risk factors in patients with stroke receiving hypolipidemic therapy with statins as secondary prevention
The international guidelines in place for ischemic stroke mention the need for statins to be used as secondary prevention [13]
