Why the study?
Does early initiation of statin treatment reduce 1-year mortality in unselected patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Does early initiation of statin treatment reduce 1-year mortality in unselected patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Early initiation of statin therapy in unselected patients with acute myocardial infarction is associated with improved 1-year survival.
Supports early statin initiation in AMI; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without RCTs.
Early initiation of statin treatment in patients with AMI is associated with reduced 1-year mortality. These results emphasize the importance of implementing the results of randomized statin trials in unselected AMI patients.
