ObjectiveBenefits of statins in the long term follow-up of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been established, but the short term benefits of early statins prescription remain unproven, especially according to the reperfusion result.Aim of the studyTo assess the benefit of early statins prescription in in-hospital outcome of STEMI patients.MethodsBetween January 1995 and November 2011, 1388 patients admitted for STEMI have been included in the MIRAMI (MonastIR Acute Myocardial Infarction) registry. During this period, statins were introduced in early management of STEMI patients. This enabled us subdivide patients, after excluding those with missing treatment data, into 2 groups: early prescribed statins group (n=561) versus no statins prescribed group (n=804). We compared in-hospital outcome between these two groups and among the subgroups of successful or failure reperfusion therapy.ResultsIn the early statins prescription group, there was a significant reduction of in-hospital mortality (12.1% vs 5.3%, p |
