Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: rosuvastatin 20 mg

Device: Turbox CRP kit
Quantitative estimation of hs-CRP will be conducted at the beginning of the study and after the treatment period using the Turbox CRP kit, which employs turbidimetry as the method of measurement.

Drug: rosuvastatin 20 mg,
The statin are most commonly used agents for prevention of cardiovascular events and recurrent episodes of ACS. Apart from their anti-lipid actions, statins show pleotropic effects which include their anti-inflammatory role. Atorvastatin and rosuvastatin are both members of statin family and have showed their effectiveness in reduction of inflammatory biomarkers in addition to their lipid lowering effects
