Abstract | Background: Description of the case: Conclusions: The prevalence of statin-associated rhabdomyolysis is low, however, the late elevation of CPK above 10 times its upper normal value in those patients with successful percutaneous coronary angiography should promptly draw attention, generate a diagnostic approach towards non-traumatic acquired causes of rhabdomyolysis and assess the suspension of statins.
