摘要：
Purpose: Studies have showed that inflammatory cytokines were involved in the process of left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), anti-inflammation treatment ameliorated LV remodeling and improved cardiac performance. Hydroxymethylglutary coenzyme A reductase inhibition (statins) could affect the expression of inflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that statins have beneficial effects on early LV remodeling and cardiac performance in rats with AMI by modulating the production of inflammatory cytokines.
