Central blood pressure may be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease than brachial
pressure. Although statins reduce brachial pressure, their impact on central pressure …

Objectives To evaluate if the effect of statins on blood pressure is similar in patients grouped
by use of antihypertensive medication, level of blood pressure, and high-density lipoprotein …

Part of the efficacy of statins in the prevention of cardiovascular events can be attributed to
their blood pressure-lowering effect, but clinical trials primarily designed to investigate this …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Some clinical evidence supports a statin antihypertensive effect.
Our aim is to evaluate the statin effect on blood pressure control in hypertensive patients in …

High serum cholesterol has been frequently reported in patients with arterial hypertension in
whom it might influence the blood pressure control. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Background Elevated blood pressure and elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lowering both should reduce the risk of …

Not all cardiovascular protection provided by statins is explained by their beneficial effects
on lipoproteins. Old (eg, clofibrate) and new (eg, torcetrapib and ezetimibe) agents, with …

Purpose To investigate the blood pressure (BP)–lowering effects of statins by conducting a
systematic review and meta-analysis of placebo-randomized controlled trials (RCTs) …

The beneficial cardiovascular effect of statins in both the primary and the secondary disease
prevention remains indisputable [1]. On the basis of randomized evidence, this effect is …

Objective: To examine determinants of control of high blood pressure in Oslo, Norway.
