AI Article Synopsis
- Statin therapy significantly lowers the risk of heart disease and death in patients, whether they are at risk for cardiovascular events or already experiencing them.
- Research indicates that statins not only help prevent severe heart issues but also play a role in preventing heart failure in those with coronary artery disease.
- The review highlights both experimental studies and clinical findings about how statins can be used in treating heart failure.
Article Abstract
Clinical trials demonstrated that statin therapy is associated with a significant reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality when used for either primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Several studies have shown that statins, having an important effect in the prevention of acute coronary syndromes, are also able to prevent heart failure (HF) in patients with coronary artery disease. This review summarizes the experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of statins in the management of HF.
