EARLY INITIATION OF EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID AND STATIN TREATMENT IS ASSOCIATED WITH BETTER CLINICAL OUTCOMES THAN STATIN ALONE IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROMES: 1-YEAR OUTCOMES OF A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED STUDY
Background Early initiation of EPA treatment in combination with a statin within 24 h after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) reduces inflammation and ventricular arrhythmia compared with statin monotherapy; however, the impact of early initia...
