Abstract

Background: Some recent trials reported that, low admission low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were associated with increased mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes. We aimed to compare the effect of very low admission LDL-C levels on prognosis in statin-pretreated and statin-naive patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary angioplasty.
