Preoperative statin therapy has been shown to improve cardiovascular outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting; however, the clinical gain achieved is in excess of the reduction in lipids. We demonstrate that statin therapy exerts a direct anti-inflammatory effect mediated through reduced interleukin-6 production.
