Sažetak
According to the results of studies, 10-20% of patients experiencing an ACS were being treated with statins prior to the event. In our study, 24.8% of patients had been on StTh. The number of vessels with lesions was seen with equal frequency amongst patients with and without StTh. This apparent lack of benefit can most likely be explained by the increased number of risk factors amongst patients on StTh. Another advantageous finding seen in patients previously treated with statins was a significantly lower proportion of total occlusions, especially STEMI.
