Abstract
The initiation of therapy with a statin drug at hospital discharge following CABG surgery was associated with increased utilization rates. The LDL-C goal attainment improved in patients who were not at their goal prior to surgery. However, the persistence of medication use declined within 6 months. Statin therapy initiation was well-tolerated in this cohort of patients.
