Abstract

Objective: To investigate the levels of serum lipid, C reactive protein (CRP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the effects of atorvastatin on levels of blood lipid and CRP. Methods: Total of 82 patients were divided into two groups randomly: control group and atorvastatin group. Blood lipid and CRP contents were measured on the admission, 1 week later and after a high-fat meal. Results:CRP, TC and LDL-C levels of patients were significantly decreased (P0. 01 all); CRP and TG after a high-fat meal were also significantly decreased (P0. 01, 0. 001. respectively) in atorvastatin group. Conclusion: Short-term atorvastatin therapy can effectively lower CRP. TG and LDL-C levels in ACS patients.
