Atorvastatin Pre-Treatment Influences the Risk of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Study

Summary

This study investigates potential protective effect of atorvastatin pre-treatment in patient with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patient are randomized to two groups: atorvastatin pre-treatment group (80mg atorvastatin two days before PCI) and control group (PCI without atorvastatin pretreatment). Endpoint is myocardial infarction measured by troponin I and creatine kinase myocardial band.
