Abstract
Objective:To observe the curative effect,blood lipid and C-reactive protein(CRP) change in elderly coronary heart disease by simvastatin,for accumulating clinical experience and directing clinical work. Methods:144 patients with coronary heart disease were divided into two groups. The control group(60 cases) were treated by routine treatment,the observation group(84 cases) were treated by routine treatment and simvastatin. Results:The incidence of cardiovascular events was obviously lower in the observation group than in the control group. The change of blood lipid was obviously significant in the observation group. The expression of CRP was obviously decreased in the post treatment in the two groups. But the decrease value of CRP was higher in the observation group than in the control group. Conclusion:The treatment of simvastatin can improve the curative effect and blood lipid,decrease the expression of CRP in elderly coronary heart disease. The treatment of simvastatin is worthy of being recommended in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.
