May modestly lower BP in uncontrolled hypertension; leaves open need for prospective RCTs.
Do statins reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension?
Statins may offer additional blood pressure-lowering benefits in hypertensive patients, particularly those with hypercholesterolemia or high cardiovascular risk, though definitive trials are lacking.
Carlos A. Feldstein (2010) conducted a review in Hypertension and Dyslipidemia. Statins vs. Placebo or standard antihypertensive therapy was evaluated on Blood pressure reduction. Statins produce a modest blood pressure-lowering effect that is most prominent in patients with not well-controlled hypertension.
