Effect of Statin Treatment on Insulin Sensitivity During Myocardial Infarction

Summary

Stress hyperglycemia during myocardial infarction (MI) is related to mortality at short and long term. Recent studies, however, revealed that chronic statin treatment may decrease both insulin sensitivity and secretion immediately after statin therapy initiation. This study aim was to investigate the dose-dependent effect of statins on insulin sensitivity in patients in the acute phase of MI.
