Figure 2 Soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, top), E-selectin (middle), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1, bottom) levels in the 2 arms at randomization (i.e., 7 days before intervention), at the time of intervention, after 8 and 24 h. The Wilcoxon signed rank test with Bonferroni's correction for the comparisons between time points in both arms showed a significant rise from baseline of ICAM-1, E-selectin, and VCAM-1 levels (p < 0.01) in all post-procedural determinations. This increase was significantly lower in the atorvastatin versus placebo arm at 8 and 24 h for E-selectin and at 24 h for ICAM-1. Data are mean ± SEM. PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention. White bars = atorvastatin; black bars = placebo.
