Early statin therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
P atients who survive an acute coronary syndrome (ACS; myocardial infarction [MI] or unstable angina) are at a high risk of recurrent events. In this context, recent data from observational, as well as from randomised clinical trials, support an early benefit from statins started during hospital admission for an ACS in addition to improving long-term compliance with statin therapy. The Myocardi...
متن کاملStatin Therapy in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Randomized trials have established that statin treatment reduces coronary events in primary prevention and in patients with stable coronary artery disease. In unstable coronary artery disease, however, the pathophysiological background is distinct, and the potential benefits of statin therapy have not been evaluated until recently. Data from animal models and clinical studies indicate that stat...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate different characteristics of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without ST-segment elevation compared with transient St-segment elevation. DESIGN An observational, prospective study. SETTING A 12-bed coronary care unit. PATIENTS Consecutive patients of ACS without persistent ST-segment elevation.

متن کاملEffect of Previous Statin Therapy in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Statin therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been associated with reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, it has been less clear as to whether statin therapy before acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is beneficial. We studied the effect of previous statin therapy, initiated ≥1 month before PCI, on the outcome of patients with ACS wh...
متن کاملComputed tomography coronary angiography in patients with acute myocardial infarction without significant coronary stenosis.
BACKGROUND It is known that a significant number of patients experiencing an acute myocardial infarction have normal coronary arteries or nonsignificant coronary disease at coronary angiography (CA). Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) can identify the presence of plaques, even in the absence of significant coronary stenosis. This study evaluated the role of 64-slice CTCA in detecti...
