Figure 1 Cumulative incidence of the hospitalization for congestive heart failure. Intensive statin therapy with atorvastatin 80 mg, as compared with moderate statin therapy with pravastatin 40 mg, reduced the risk for hospitalization for congestive heart failure by 45% (hazard ratio 0.55, 95% confidence interval 0.35 to 0.85, p = 0.008). This benefit was not attenuated after controlling for recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) or prior history of heart failure.
