Abstract
Statin administration before Percutaneous Coronary Intervention procedures (PCI) is proved in reducing the incidence of Myocardial Peri-Procedural (PMI) infarction. This research was to compare between of pre-treatment 40mg Atorvastatin administered two hours before PCI in Stable Coronary Artery Disease (SCAD) patient and without pre-treatment in reducing the rate of periprocedural myocardial infarction. This study was a Clinical Trial with pretest-posttest control group open-label randomized design. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov Smirnov Sample test and Chi Square Test. The PMI incidence in the atorvastatin group was 0% and in the control group was 8.3% (p = 0.489). The maximum CK-MB value after PCI in the atorvastatin group was 6.4ng/ml and 25.49ng/ml in the control group. Administration of 40mg Atorvastatin in SCAD patients before undergoing PCI shows a tendency of a decrease in PMI incidence.
