A primary end point (any nonfatal or fatal stroke) occurred in 265 patients in the atorvastatin group and 311 in the placebo group (unadjusted P=0.05) (Table 2 Table 2 Estimates of the Hazard Ratio for the Primary and Secondary Efficacy Outcome Measures.n conclusion, in patients with a recent stroke or TIA, treatment with 80 mg of atorvastatin per day decreased the risk of stroke, major coronary events, and revascularization procedures. These results support the initiation of atorvastatin treatment soon after a stroke or TIA.
