May support combination atorvastatin-amlodipine exploration in murine AAA; leaves open translation to human prevention.
Does combination therapy with atorvastatin and amlodipine prevent AngII-induced AAA formation in ApoE(-/-) mice?
Combination therapy with atorvastatin and amlodipine suppresses AngII-induced AAA formation in a mouse model, potentially via Rho-kinase inhibition.
