Effects of atorvastatin on reactive hyperemia and inflammatory process in patients with congestive heart failure.

Effects of atorvastatin on reactive hyperemia and inflammatory process in patients with congestive heart failure.

Purpose of the study was to investigate whether short-term atorvastatin treatment improves endothelial function and affects inflammatory process in patients with heart failure (HF) and normal cholesterol levels. HF is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and increased inflammatory process, while...
