  1. DECREASE III Myocardial ischemia was significantly reduced with statin (OR 0.53; 95% CI 0.32-0.88, p = 0.016) LDL (p < 0.001) and hs-CRP (p  0.001) were lower in statin arm Incidence of adverse events was similar (p = 0.016) (p = 0.039) Fluvastatin XL (n = 250) Placebo (n = 247) Trial design: Patients undergoing noncardiac vascular surgery were randomized to fluvastatin XL or placebo, in addition to beta-blockers. Clinical outcomes were compared at 1 month.
