Possibilities of atorvastatin loading dose using for the prevention of perioperative myocardial damage in patients with stable coronary artery disease

The aim was to assess the effect of a single atorvastatin loading dose on reducing the frequency of perioperative myocardial damage. Perioperative myocardial damage is a complication of endovascular revascularization of the coronary arteries. This complication significantly aggravates the operative and life prognosis of the patients. Atorvastatin loading dose has a protective effect, which can significantly reduce the percentage of perioperative myocardial damage and therefore improve the patient’s prognosis. This article presents an analysis of studies, dedicated to the effect of atorvastatin loading dose on perioperative myocardial damage in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
