Usefulness of rosuvastatin to prevent periprocedural myocardial injury in patients undergoing elective coronary intervention.
The American Journal of Cardiology(2013)
摘要
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether percutaneous coronary intervention-related periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) can be suppressed more significantly with high- compared with low-dose rosuvastatin. A total of 232 patients scheduled to undergo elective percutaneous coronary intervention within 5 to 7 days were assigned to groups that would receive either 2.5 or 20 mg/day of rosuvastatin (n = 116 each). The incidence of periprocedural MI did not significantly differ between the high and low-dose groups (8.7% vs 18.7%, p = 0.052). In patients who were not taking statins at the time of enrollment, high-dose rosuvastatin significantly suppressed periprocedural MI compared with the low dose (10.5% vs 30.0%, p = 0.037). The difference was not significant in patients who were already taking statins (high vs low dose 7.6% vs 10.6%, p = 0.582). In conclusion, the incidence of percutaneous coronary intervention-related periprocedural MI was reduced more effectively by high-dose than by low-dose rosuvastatin in statin-naive patients. However, low-dose rosuvastatin is sufficient for patients who are already taking statins. (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
