Similar Effects of Atorvastatin, Simvastatin and Pravastatin on Thrombogenic and Inflammatory Parameters in Patients with Hypercholesterolemia

Abstract

The present study shows similar short-term (3 months) effects of atorvastatin, simvastatin and pravastatin on selected hemostatic and inflammatory parameters in plasma in patients with hypercholesterolemia. Thus, chemical and pharmacological differences between statins appear to exert no major influence on these parameters.
