Summary
Pre-treatment with statins decreased the incidence of cardiac enzyme increase after
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and distal embolization suspected to cause post-PCI
myocardial damage. This study evaluates the effect of high dose atorvastatin pre-treatment on
post-procedural index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) values that are introduced for
assessing the status of the microcirculation.
