High versus Low dose Statin Therapy in Indian Patients with Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Thrombolysis

Conclusions High-dose atorvastatin did not show significant difference of MACEs in STEMI patients undergoing thrombolysis but showed significant improvement in immediate coronary flow depicted by ST-segment resolution. This benefit of high dose statin is to be weighed against greater myalgia, drug discontinuation and cost in Indian patients.
