High-dose statin therapy for patients with acute coronary syndrome

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of early high-dose statin therapy on patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including both STEMI and NSTEMI. Patients who are statin-naive or already on statins will receive either atorvastatin or rosuvastatin immediately upon admission, prior to any invasive procedures. The study will track various cardiac and renal parameters during hospitalization and conduct follow-ups one month and one year after discharge to assess outcomes.
