Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on serum c-reactive protein in patients with unstable angina. Methods Seventy-six patients were randomly divided into two groups: placebo therapy group and atorvastatin group. All patients would be received outline therapy, and atorvastatin group were administered with additional atorvastatin (10 mg/d) for 8 weeks. Then, serum c-reactive protein and blood lipid were measured just before and after therapy. Results Serum c-reactive protein and lipid levels were significantly reduced in atorvastatin group compared with placebo group (P0.05=. Conclusion Atorvastatin potentiated the decline of serum c-reactive protein and lipid level in patients with unstable angina.
