This investigation quantified the effect of statins on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in an observational setting where fluvastatin represented most of the statin use. The study applied propensity scores to match statin initiators to statin noninitiators and followed them for the occurrence of AMI. Serum low-density lipoprotein levels were reduced by statin therapy, and there were fewer incidents of AMI in statin initiators than in noninitiators.
