I read with interest a study by Kenaan et al concluding that, among 80,493 consecutive, nonemergency percutaneous coronary intervention's (PCI) patients from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium registry, one-third of patientsdid not receive statins before PCI, which had no consequences in terms of major inhospital adverse events or long-term mortality. I wish to support their experience and comment on our randomized studies dealing with this topic. There are several observational and randomized studies demonstrating that both statin-naive patients and patients on chronic statin therapy assigned to pretreatment with statins were associated with a reduced occurrence of myocardial injury or periprocedural myocardial infarction. These findings led to recommendation to use loading or reloading with high-dose statins before PCI. Our first nonrandomized observation suggested that pretreatment with different types of statins in patients undergoing PCI for stable a
