Abstract

Rhabdomyolysis is a recognized but uncommon side effect of statin therapy. Pravastatin is a commonly used statin after cardiac transplantation, with favorable outcome and acceptable side-effect profile. We report a case of localized rhabdomyolysis attributed to physical exertion in a cardiac transplant recipient taking pravastatin.
