- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of preoperative statin therapy on rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) during hospital stay after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Review of patients who underwent PCI between June 2003 and September 2005 ( n = 3893) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital University of Medical Science. (Group I, on statins, n = 3361; group II, not on statins, n = 532). To investigate if preoperative statin therapy was independently associated with the reduction in the risk of adverse postoperative outcomes after PCI. Prognostic factors were assessed using Cox multivariate regression analysis to determine if preoperative statin therapy was independently associated with a reduction in the risk of adverse postoperative outcomes. Results: Our study demonstrated that preoperative statin therapy was not associated with a reduction in risk of mortality and overall MACCE during the hospital stay (0·3% vs. 0·4%; 1·4% vs. 1·2% P > 0·05, respectively).Compared with patients not receiving statins therapy, the hazard ratio for mortality in hospital was 0·738 (95% CI, 0·499–1·211, P = 0·229). Conclusions: Preoperative statin therapy did not reduce the risk of mortality and the rates of MACCE during the hospital stay after successful PCI. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that independent prognostic parameters for mortality were Age, LVEF<50%, Triple vessel CAD, and DM (diabetes mellitus).
