Effect of Statins on Platelet Activation and Function: From Molecular Pathways to Clinical Effects

Figure 1

Detailed summary of platelet-statin interactions. A green (sharp point) arrow indicates a stimulatory pathway. A red (round point) arrow indicates an inhibitory pathway. Different statins are marked with different colors. See text for abbreviations. “Other statins” indicate compounds different from atorvastatin, simvastatin, or rosuvastatin that have a minor amount of supporting literature for each compound.
