Statins and myocardial hypertrophy.

abstract：:Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has rapidly evolved from balloon angioplasty to drug-eluting stents over the past 25 years and has become an important treatment option for coronary heart disease. During PCI, atherosclerot...
