Differential Effects of Strong and Regular Statins on the Clinical Outcome of Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Following Coronary Stent Implantation – The Kumamoto Intervention Conference Study (KICS) Registry –

Abstract

In patients with mild-to-moderate CKD, only strong statins were associated with lower risk compared with no statin, but regular statins were not. It is possible that taking a strong statin from the early stage of CKD is useful for suppression of cardiovascular events.
