“…Indeed, Marín et al showed that statin use prevents the development of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, and this benefit could be related to the effects in MMP system [16]. All these points reflect the importance of the MMP levels in most cardiac disease, and reemphasizes the positive effect of using high statin doses [17].…”

“…Furthermore, macrophages were almost absent around the ATVC‐PTMC‐coated AZ31 wire, but were slightly present around the PTMC‐coated AZ31 wire, as seen by the CD68 staining in Figure . The low presence of macrophages is attributed to the anti‐inflammatory effect of AVTC . With and without regulation by ATVC, the vascular remodeling showed different behaviors.…”

“…Atorvastatin calcium (ATVC) is a routinely used oral medicine for the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease . It has been shown to exert ‘pleiotropic effects', such as anti‐inflammatory properties, resistance to thrombosis formation, inhibition of SMC proliferation and migration, and improvement of endothelial function . Furthermore, statins can increase the circulation of endothelial progenitor cells that are involved in vascular repair as well as the activity of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase .…”
