Effect of Two-Day Atorvastatin Pretreatment on Long-Term Outcome of Patients With Stable Angina Pectoris Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Original language description

Several randomized studies and meta-analyses have suggested that pretreatment with statins may decrease periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The purpose of this randomized study was toinvestigate the effect of a 2-day atorvastatin therapy before PCI on long-term clinical outcome. Two hundred statin-naive patients with stable angina pectoris referred for PCI were enrolled and randomized (ratio 1:1) to 2-day pretreatment with atorvastatin 80 mg/day and subsequent PCI (atorvastatin group), or immediate PCI (control group). The registry group comprised 182 consecutive patients on long-term statin therapy referred for immediate PCI during the same period as randomized patients. We compared the first occurrence of MI or death during long-term follow-up. There were no significant differences in most clinical characteristics and early results among the 3 groups. Median follow-up was 45 months (1 to 59). Incidences of death/
