Fewer than half of cryptogenic stroke patients received statins. Greater statin use in this population could reduce the rate of major vascular events Study Supported by: None Disclosure: Dr. Chaturvedi has received personal compensation for activities with Genentech, Inc., Abbott Vascular, Boehringer-Ingelheim, WL Gore, and Merck.
