Effects of Atorvastatin with Different Doses on Related Indicators and MACE in Patients with Acute Myocar-dial Infarction after PCI / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of atorvastatin with different doses on related indicators and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). METHODS:120 patients with AMI after PCI were randomly divided into conventional dose group(60 cases)and high dose group (60 cases). All patients were immediately given low molecular weight heparin,Aspirin enteric-coated tablet,Clopidogrel bisulfate tablet,Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor,β-blockers,nitrates and other conventional treatment;based on it,conventional dose group was given 20 mg Atorvastatin calcium tablet,once every day before bedtime;high dose group was given 40 mg Atorv-astatin calcium tablet,once every day before bedtime. The treatment course for both groups was 1 month. Total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),C-reactive protein (CRP),OX40L,interleukin (IL)-6 levels in 2 groups before and after treatment were observed,the correlation among OX40L with CRP and IL-6 were analyzed,and the incidence of MACE in 2 groups was recorded after 1 month follow-up. RESULTS:Be-fore treatment,there were no significant differences in the TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,OX40L,CRP and IL-6 between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment, TG, TC, LDL-C, OX40L, CRP and IL-6 were aignificantly lower than before, TC, LDL-C, OX40L,CRP and IL-6 in high dose group were lower than conventional dose group,HDL-C was significantly higher than before, the differences were statistically significant(P0.05). Before treatment,OX40L showed positive correlation with CRP(r=0.746,P<0.01)and IL-6(r=0.763,P<0.01);after treatment,OX40L also showed positive correlation with CRP (r=0.755,P<0.01) and IL-6 (r=0.760,P<0.01). The incidence of MACE in high dose group were significantly lower than conventional dose group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treatment,atorvastatin can significantly reduce lipid,inflamma-tion levels and incidence of MACE,but the effect is more significant in high dose.
