After the introduction of statins in 1987 and the publication of the landmark Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Trial in 1996, extraordinarily robust evidence has accumulated demonstrating that lowering levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with a major reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Determining how the reduction in LDL-C results in these benefits has been the subject of intense scientific interest during the last 4 decades.

CAPTIM trial was published in 2002, which left a gospel truth in the science of myocardial reperfusion (two decades gone now). It is a sad academic story ,most of the interventional cardiology community shrugged it off as a non-event. After CAPTIM , there were several other studies that tried to reiterate the same. The fact of the matter is, in the art and science of reperfusion, all that glitters may not be gold at the myocardium level.
