Cardioprotective Effects of Atorvastatin plus Trimetazidine in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Objective: To explore the effects of preoperative administration of conventional doses of atorvastatin plus trimetazidine on the myocardial injury of patients during the perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methodology: 475 cases of acute coronary syndrome patients before PCI were randomly divided into the control group (238 cases) and experimental group (237 cases).The control group was treated with conventional doses of atorvastatin calcium (20 mg each time, once a night), and the experimental group was treated with conventional doses of atorvastatin calcium plus trimetazidine hydrochloride (20 mg each time, tid) for 3 d. After PCI, preoperative and postoperative 24 h concentrations of serum creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as well as activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) were investigated. Left ventricular ejection fractions of the patients were then examined 4 weeks later. Results: Postoperative 24 h cTnI concentration and elevated MPO activity of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P <0 05). CK-MB activities and hs-CRP concentrations of the two groups did not differ significantly (P> 0 05). Conclusion: The administration of conventional doses of atorvastatin plus trimetazidine three days before PCI is able to protect the perioperative patients from myocardial injury. [1]
