In-hospital initiation of statin therapy in patients with acute coronary events.

摘要: After acute coronary events, patients remain at high risk for recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality. Despite the compelling scientific clinical trial evidence that statin therapy reduces mortality in after this life-saving continues to be underutilized. It is now recognized setting which initiated has a major impact on patient adherence. In-hospital initiation of been demonstrated result markedly increased treatment rate, improved long-term compliance, more reaching low-density lipoprotein levels less than 100 mg/dL, outcomes. As reduction seen with irrespective baseline cholesterol, virtually all event are candidates treatment. may also reduce early syndrome patients, but further research required before fully established. The adoption in-hospital as standard care hospitalized will dramatically improve rates thus substantially future prolong life large number each year.
