Изучено влияние монотерапии флувастатином в течение 8 недель у 15 больных артериальной гипертонией и дислипидемией без ассоциированных клинических состояний на функциональное состояние эндотелия и уровень неспецифического воспаления. Монотерапия флувастатином сопровождалась увеличением эндотелий зависимой вазодилатации плечевой артерии в пробе с реактивной гиперемией и снижением содержания вчСРБ и концентрации интерлейкинов ФНО-alpha, ИЛ6, ИЛ-1 beta
Fifteen untreated non-diabetic patients (9 women, 51,5±1,4 years (M±m), with stage 1 arterial hypertension (BP 148,2±2,2/93,3±2,0 mmHg) were enrolled into the study. All patients had LDL cholesterol levels >4,0 mmol/1 (total serum cholesterol (TCh) 6,3±0,3 mmol/l, LDL 4,3±0,3 mmol/1, HDL 1,4±0,1 mmol/1, triglycerides (Tg) 1,3+0,1 mmol/1). IL-beta, IL-4, IL-б, TNF-alpha and ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (usCRP) serum concentrations, white blood cells (WBC) and endothelial-dependent (EDV) and endothelial-independent vasodilation count were assessed before and after 8 week monotherapy with fluvastatin XL 80 mg bd. The patients were not administered any antihypertensive drugs during study period. Changes were considered statistically significant at p<0,05. Small but statistically significant reduction of systolic BP was observed (2%, p<0,05). Fluvastatin monotherapy resulted in significant TCh and LDL reduction (19% and 26% from baseline respectively, p<0,001), LDL and Tg changes were insignificant. Fluvastatin XL monotherapy improves EDV and decreases inflammation markers in hypertensive patient with dyslipidemia. Statin therapy may result in systolic BP reduction in untreated hypertensive patients.
