Newsday: Dr. Ralph L. Sacco, president of the American Heart Association and chairman of neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said that the recent guidelines from the American Heart Association recommend statins after ischemic stroke. "We believe that people with a lobar hemorrhage are at greater risk of bleeding from a variety of drugs, possibility including statins," he said. "It is not routine that we would start a statin after intracerebral hemorrhage."
