Abstract

Patients referred to cardiac surgery for cardiovascular disease are at significant risk for the development of post-operative major adverse events despite significant advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care. Statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) have gained a pivotal role in the primary and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, and are thought to improve perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
