Hypotensive effect of atorvastatin in hypertensive patients: the association among flow-mediated dilation, oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction

Abstract

The hypotensive effect of atorvastatin is associated with FMD improvement in normolipidaemic, hypertensive patients. Although this could be related to changes in oxidative stress and endothelial function, this was not demonstrated in this study and warrants further investigation.
