Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how giving an 80 mg loading dose of atorvastatin before coronary angiography affects the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with STEMI.
- In the analysis of 386 STEMI patients, those who received atorvastatin had a significantly lower incidence of CIN (10.5%) compared to those who did not (24.4%).
- The results also showed that serum creatinine levels returned to baseline values more frequently in the atorvastatin group (66.3% vs. 50.6%) by day 7, indicating better kidney recovery.
