Background Recent trials in acute myocardial infarction indicate that intensive and early statin therapy that lowers low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) to ≤ 70 mg dL−1 is beneficial. The combination of statins with ezetimibe, a newly developed cholesterol‐absorption inhibitor, can lead to a further reduction in LDL‐C of up to 26%. In this study, we examined the rapidity and intensity of the lipid‐lowering effect of ezetimibe co‐administered with simvastatin immediately after myocardial infarction.
