Statin use is associated with less ST-elevation versus non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a nationwide study
In this nationwide study, prior statin use is associated with less STEMI relative to non-STEMI in a dose dependent manner. This indicates that statin therapy, in addition to reducing myocardial infarction event rates, also result in a less severe presentation of myocardial infarctions.
