Endothelial dysfunction and pleiotropic effects of statins

Publication at Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové |

Abstract

The treatment by statins significantly improves the risk of acute coronary syndrome including the elderly. Regarding age-related endothelial dysfunction per se, and the positive effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) on endothelial cell function, treatment with these drugs may be useful in age-related endothelial dysfunction.
