ABSTRACT
Statins, 3?hydroxy?3?methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, are established first line treatments for hypercholesterolemia because of their proved efficacy. However, the results of several studies have raised concerns that statin use increases the risk of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH). At the same time, other researches make the adverse conclusion that statin use does not increase the risk of ICH, but improves clinical outcome and decreases the mortality after ICH. Additional randomized controlled trials are required to clarify the correlation between statin use and ICH, and whether to continue statin use after ICH. This paper reviews research advances of correlation between statin use and ICH.
