Do statins reduce blood pressure?: a meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials.
A meta-analysis was performed of the effect of 3hydroxy3methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) on blood pressure in humans including the randomized, controlled trials of statin therapy (20 trials and 828 patients) in which concomitant antihypertensive treatment (if any) remained unchanged throughout the study. A total of 291 and 272 patients were given a statin or placebo, res...
متن کاملStatins, central blood pressure, and blood pressure amplification.
It is well established that blood pressure (BP) differs markedly between peripheral (brachial) and central arteries (aorta).1 As the pressure wave travels distally from the heart, mean BP and diastolic BP decrease slightly (1 to 2 mm Hg), but a gradual and significant increase of systolic BP (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) occurs. This phenomenon is called BP amplification.1 The development of co...
متن کاملUse of statins and blood pressure.
BACKGROUND Markers of inflammation such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) were shown to be elevated in patients with hypertension. Small trials using statin therapy showed blood-pressure (BP) reductions, but it is unknown whether this association extends to larger populations. The objective of this study was to determine whether statin use was associated with better blood-pressure co...
متن کاملDo Statins Reduce Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting?
Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common postoperative complication after coronary artery bypass grafting. There is contradictory evidence as to whether pre-operative statin use lowers the incidence of postoperative AF. This study aimed to assess whether pre operative statin therapy prevents the post-operative AF. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study we used a propensity score-ma...
متن کاملBlood pressure-lowering effects of statins: who benefits?
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 cholesterol (HDL-C). METHODS Blood pressure was compared in statins users (n = 995) and nonusers (n = 9536) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. The overall effect of statins and the...
