Abstract
Atorvastatin is widely recommended for long-term secondary prevention in STEMI patients with no contraindication. Although high-dose atorvastatin has been shown to reduce important patient outcomes such as MACE, there is still doubt that high-dose atorvastatin could have the same protective effect in patients undergoing PCI in the short and long term. We searched the following electronic databases: Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central considering studies that enrolled adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of STEMI or NSTEMI undergoing PCI. The intervention must have been atorvastatin alone compared to a placebo, standard care, or a different atorvastatin dose. A total of (n = 11) studies were included in the quantitative analysis. Information on (N = 5,399) patients was available; 2,654 were assigned to receive high-dose atorvastatin therapy, and 2,745 comprised the control group. High-dose atorvastatin pre-loading significantly reduced MACE at one month of follow-up (RR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.67-0.91; p = 0.014) in both STEMI and NSTEMI. All-cause mortality was reduced in patients with STEMI (RR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.10-0.81; p = 0.029). The quality of the body of evidence was rated overall as moderate. Patients presenting with STEMI or NSTEMI benefit from high-dose atorvastatin pre-loading before PCI by reducing MACE at 30 days. The use of high-dose atorvastatin in STEMI patients reduced all-cause mortality. The beneficial effects of atorvastatin pre-loading are limited to 30 days post-PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can quickly restore myocardial perfusion after acute coronary syndrome. Whether and which lipid-lowering regimens are effective in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and mortality risk after PCI remain unclear. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the benefits of different lipid-lowering regimens on the risk of MACEs and mortality in the post-PCI population by network meta-analysis. METHODS Public databases, including PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, were searched from inception to August 2022. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on lipid-lowering regimens in post-PCI populations were included and analysed. The outcomes were the incidence of all-cause mortality and MACEs, whether reported as dichotomous variables or as HRs. RESULTS Thirty-nine RCTs were included. For MACEs, alirocumab plus rosuvastatin (OR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.44), evolocumab plus ezetimibe and statins (OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.06 to 0.59), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus pitavastatin (HR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.49 to 0.96) and icosapent ethyl plus statins (HR: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.62 to 0.86) had significant advantages and relatively high rankings. For mortality, rosuvastatin (OR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.84), ezetimibe plus statins (OR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.43 to 0.89) and icosapent ethyl plus statins (OR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.45 to 0.96) had significant advantages compared with the control. CONCLUSION EPA, especially icosapent ethyl, plus statins had a beneficial effect on reducing the risk of MACEs and mortality in post-PCI patients. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 inhibitors plus statins were able to reduce the risk of MACEs, but the risk of mortality remained unclear. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42018099600.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence of therapy for dysfunctional coronary circulation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is limited. This study was performed to compare the effects of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin on dysfunctional coronary circulation. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 597 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI in 3 centers from June 2016 to December 2019. Dysfunctional coronary circulation was defined by the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade and the TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG). Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of different statin types on dysfunctional coronary circulation. RESULTS The incidence of TIMI no/slow reflow did not differ between the two groups, but the incidence of TMPG no/slow reflow was significantly lower in the atorvastatin than rosuvastatin group (44.58% vs. 57.69%, respectively). After multivariate adjustment, the odds ratio with 95% confidence interval of rosuvastatin was 1.72 (1.17-2.52) for after pretreatment TMPG no/slow reflow and 1.73 (1.16-2.58) for after stenting TMPG no/slow reflow. Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes during hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Compared with rosuvastatin, atorvastatin was associated with better coronary microcirculatory perfusion in patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI.

Abstract
Currently, guidelines recommend the uptake of high-dose statins before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, the association of high-dose statins with the incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon remains unclear. This study aimed to review the evidence of preprocedural high-dose statin therapy to reduce no-reflow incidence after PCI. PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched from inception until May 2022 for studies comparing high-dose statins with low-dose or no statin therapy before PCI. Studies reporting the no-reflow phenomenon were shortlisted. The National Institutes of Health tool for randomized and cohort studies was used to assess the quality of included studies. A random-effects model was used to derive odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 11 studies were included, with a population of 4,294 patients. The use of high-dose statins before PCI significantly reduced postprocedural no-reflow (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.74, p = 0.0005, I2 = 32%). A total of 7 studies included patients who underwent PCI without previous use of statins. A significant decrease in overall no-reflow events was observed with high-intensity statin treatment versus low-intensity statin/placebo (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.88, p = 0.01, I2 = 25%) among patients who were statin naive. Acute high-dose statin therapy before PCI significantly reduces the hazard of post-PCI no-reflow events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Our results encourage the routine use of statins before PCI.

Abstract
Background Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious multiple acute cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the effect of statins on the efficacy and prognosis of STEMI patients after emergency PCI. Methods From October 2019 to January 2021, 98 patients with STEMI in our hospital were selected and divided into study group and control group. The study group took atorvastatin 40 mg 2 hours before surgery, 40 mg/day after surgery, and 20 mg/day 1 week later. The control group received 20 mg of atorvastatin every night after admission. The cardiac output, left ventricular ejection fraction, blood flow classification, vagus nerve function, heart rate deceleration force and chemoreflex sensitivity were compared between the two groups, and recorded the incidence of adverse reactions before and after treatment and 3 months after treatment. The number of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) was also recorded. Results Before treatment, there were no differences in CO, CI, and LVEF between the study and control groups. After treatment, CO, CI, and LVEF in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in TIMI blood flow classification among the groups, and after treatment, the study group was better than the control group. DC and ChRS were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group. There was no difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the study group and the control group. However, the incidence of MACE in the study group was lower than that in the control group. Conclusion Enhanced-dose atorvastatin for STEMI patients improved PCI treatment effect, cardiac function, and vagus nerve function and reduced the incidence of adverse cardiac events. Thus, statins are safe and worth considering.
