Atorvastatin does not protect against acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

Background:
Today, statins are the first-choice agents for reducing high blood cholesterol in people with and
without a past history of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods:
Studies which investigated the relationship between statins and coronary events were considered
for reanalysis.
Results:
The contradictions regarding statins are apparent. Some studies show presumed positive effects
with respect to coronary events, while other studies do not comply.
Conclusion:
Statins do not help with the required reliability against coronary events.
