TREATMENT WITH SIMVASTATIN IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE AND EARLY RECOVERY PERIOD OF ISCHAEMIC STROKE: IFLUENCE ON ENDOTHELIUM FUNCTION AND NEUROLOGICAL STATUS
The article presents a data on efficacy of simvastatin 40 mg daily in patients with acute ischemic stroke and its influence on endothelium and neurological status. Neurological status was estimated with Scandinavian scale, NIHSS and MMSE; lipids ratio was controlled. Evaluation of simvastatins influence on endothelium function the volume of desquamated endothelium cells was counted. Obtained results demonstrate rapid improvement of endothelium functions and neurological status in patients treated with simvastatin combined with neuroprotective and antihypertensive treatment.
