A 63-year-old white man with insulin-dependent diabetes and recent coronary artery bypass surgery developed diffuse muscle pain with generalized muscular weakness after taking amiodarone 1 g/day for 10 days then 200 mg/ day plus simvastatin 40 mg/day (37). He had a significant increase in creatine kinase activity, peaking at 40 392 U/l.

A 64-year-old woman underwent coronary artery bypass surgery and was given intravenous haloperidol for agitation and to avoid postoperative delirium she developed torsade de pointes (15). 

The effect of clomethiazole on cerebral outcome in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery has been investigated in 245 patients, who were randomized double-blind to placebo or clomethiazole (1800 mg over 45 minutes followed by 800 mg/hour until the end of surgery)... 

A battery of eight neuropsychological tests was administered preoperatively and repeated 4—7 weeks after surgery. There were no differences between the clomethiazole and placebo groups in postoperative neuropsychological tests scores. Thus, clomethiazole did not improve or worsen cerebral outcome after coronary artery bypass surgery. 

Coronary artery bypass surgery (or angioplasty) may, of course, be indicated in patients presenting with cerebrovascular events who also happen to have cardiac symptoms. However, because asymptomatic coronary artery disease is so often associated with symptomatic...

HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to reduce the incidence of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke and mortality (all causes), as well as the need for coronary artery bypass surgery. Since no single drug has been shown to be significantly more effective or less expensive than others in the group, none is included in the model list the choice of drug for use in patients at highest risk should be decided at national level.
