Why the study?
Does atorvastatin 10 mg improve arterial stiffness and central aortic pressure in patients with mild hypertension and hypercholesterolemia?
Does atorvastatin 10 mg improve arterial stiffness and central aortic pressure in patients with mild hypertension and hypercholesterolemia?
Low-dose atorvastatin (10 mg) significantly improves arterial stiffness and reduces central aortic pressures in patients with mild hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, suggesting a mechanism for cardiovascular risk reduction beyond lipid lowering.
