Abstract
Background: The purpose of the study was to find the effect of loading dose of atorvastatin on the
reduction of myocardial injury resulting from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total 100 consecutive patients were included in this study of which 50 patients were in
the group I who were treated with a loading dose of atorvastatin and the rest 50 patients were in the
group II who were treated without the loading dose of atorvastatin.The occurrence of myocardial
injury was measured by serum cTn-I level in patients undergoing PCI with or without loading dose
of atorvastatin.
