Statins should be used as a part of standard therapy in patients after heart transplantation. The effectiveness of statins is associated not only with their hypolipidemic action, but also with their immunomodulatory and antineoplastic properties. Statin therapy initiated early after heart transplantation improves the shortand long-term prognosis and outcomes, leading to a reduction in the incidence of cardiac allograft vasculopathy, acute rejection, and cancer.
