No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Statins have been shown to prevent coronary artery disease and to preserve left ventricular function in dilated cardiomyopathy. The investigators hypothesized that the early use of statins would reduce cardiovascular events including heart failure in acute myocardial infarction patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether early (within 96 hours after onset) use of any available statins are effective to prevent cardiovascular events including heart failure after acute myocardial infarction in Japanese patients.
