Hello,
The benefit of statin post angioplasty is established without doubt and should be offered to all patients.
Of all the statin rosuvastatin in minimum dose and maybe alternate days may be considered if muscle ache was the main side effect .
If liver enzymes were raised significantly at any time , avoid all statin .
