Statin Therapy Helps to Control Blood Pressure Levels in Hypertensive Dyslipidemic Patients

Effect of statin therapy added to ACE-inhibitors on blood pressure control and endothelial functions in normolipidemic hypertensive patients.

OBJECTIVE Endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is impaired in hypertension. Statins have been shown to improve endothelial functions in hyperlipidemic subjects. We aimed to investigate the effect of statins on endothelium-dependent flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and blood pressure (BP) in normocholesterolemic hypertensive patients. METHODS This randomized prospective study consisted of 56 pat...

Association of statin therapy with blood pressure control in hypertensive hypercholesterolemic outpatients in clinical practice

BACKGROUND Some clinical evidence revealed that statins, apart from lowering cholesterol levels, also have an antihypertensive effect. Our aim was to evaluate the existence of a possible association of statin therapy with blood pressure (BP) control in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients attending a hypertension/dyslipidemia clinic were prospectively evaluated. Those patients wi...

Blood urea changes in hypertensive patients according to therapy given, blood pressure control, and serum potassium levels.

Statin therapy reduces the likelihood of suboptimal blood pressure control among Ugandan adult diabetic patients

BACKGROUND Hypertension is one of the recognized risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in adult diabetic patients. High prevalence of suboptimal blood pressure (BP) control has been well documented in the majority of studies assessing BP control in diabetic patients in sub-Saharan Africa. In Uganda, there is a dearth of similar studies. This study evaluated the prevalence and correlates of su...
