Atherosclerosis has been considered to be an inflammatory process. In addition to its lipid-lowering properties, statin has been shown to decrease the concentrations of inflammatory markers resulting in reduction of cardiovascular events. Emerging data suggest that withdrawal of statin might be associated with increased cardiac events. The mechanism for this phenomenon, however, is still unclear. We investigated whether acute termination of statin treatment could result in rebound of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), in patients with hyperlipidemia.
