Abstract
Background— Small myocardial infarctions after percutaneous coronary intervention have been associated with higher risk of cardiac events during follow-up. Observational studies have suggested that statins may lower the risk of procedural myocardial injury. The aim of our study was to confirm this hypothesis in a randomized study.Keywords
