A systematic review and meta-analyses on the effects of atorvastatin on blood pressure and heart rate

Abstract: AIMS: Considering the inconsistencies in the literature on the atorvastatin effect on blood pressure (BP), we performed these meta-analyses. METHODS AND RESULTS: Through a search of the EMBASE, PubMed and Web of Science databases, 1412 articles were identified, from which 33 randomized clinical trials (RCT) and 44 pre-clinical were selected. Populations from RCT were stratified according to baseline BP and lipid levels. We performed meta-analyses of the effect of atorvastatin on systolic (SBP), diastolic and m… Show more

“…This was also confirmed by our findings, where we observed a –1.26‐mmHg reduction in DBP; p < .05 (Figure 5). In addition, similar findings were observed by Costa and colleagues, they demonstrated that atorvastatin was significant in BP reduction independent of LDL profiles 69 . This BP lowering effect of atorvastatin was observed in our study, and atorvastatin was able to significantly reduce the levels of SBP and DBP ( p < .05) (Figures 3 and 5).…”

Along with other known statins, our analysis also studies rosuvastatin, which has been shown to significantly improve BP in patients with hypertension.…”
