Summary

Patients with acute ischemic stroke will be divided into 2 groups by double-blind, randomized, and controlled trial. Personality and past history of the patients will be recorded after the patients signed inform consent. The patient will be collected blood among 10 cc. for measurement biomarker in serum that related plaque stability for baseline and obtained neurological examination for baseline.

The patients must be take pills for 180 days by randomized code number on pill box, and patients must be turn into the site for follow up visit at Day 90 and Day 180. All visits of the patients will be collected blood among 10 cc. for measurement biomarker in serum that related plaque stability and obtained neurological examination.

Next, the data will be separated with code number for divided group into 2 groups. Group 1 is simvastatin 10 mg per day treatment (n=36) and Group 2 is simvastatin 40 mg per day treatment. Finally, all data of each group will be calculated mean ± standard deviation, and compared by statistical analysis.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Simvastatin 10 mg

Simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Simvastatin reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.

DRUG

Simvastatin 40 mg

Simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Simvastatin reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood. Lowering your cholesterol can help prevent heart disease and hardening of the arteries, conditions that can lead to heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease.
