Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of statin monotherapy versus upfront combination therapy of statin and ezetimibe in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs), using data from a national registry in Poland.
- The analysis included 38,023 patients and found that the combination therapy significantly reduced mortality rates over a 3-year follow-up compared to statin monotherapy.
- Results indicated that rosuvastatin offered better outcomes than atorvastatin and suggested that combination therapy should be recommended for high-risk ACS patients instead of a stepwise treatment approach.
