Abstract
It has been shown that statins preloading, before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), may reduce the risk of cardiovascular outcomes for acute coronary syndrome patients. Nevertheless, the effect of such pretreatment among patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) is still debatable. We performed a systematic review and updated meta-analysis of the literature to evaluate the efficacy of short-term statins preloading on periprocedural...
