“…Several studies have shown that patients who were prescribed therapeutic agents for cardiovascular risk factors, such as ACEIs, β-blockers, ASA, and statins, prior to admission, tend to develop NSTEMI rather than STEMI. 22,28,29 There might be underlying mechanisms inhibiting transmural coronary ischemia, such as the pleiotropic effects of statins. 30 We also showed an increasing trend in the pre-development use of therapeutic agents (ACEI/ARBs, β-blockers, CCBs, and OHAs/insulin) in patients with NSTE-ACS over the entire study period.…”

“…In a previous study, we have demonstrated that among patients with ACS admitted during 2002-2010, statin use but not LDL-C level < 70 mg/dL was associated with a lower probability of STEMI presentation [14]. We have also evaluated statin pretreatment intensity, demonstrating that patients on HIST had the lowest likelihood of presenting with STEMI.…”
