Popis: To study pleiotropic effects of atorvastatin during 8-week therapy of metabolic syndrome and estimate their relationship with dynamics of quality of life characteristics (QLC).This 8-week study included 36 patients with stage II hypertensive disease associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Comprehensive clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination was supplemented by QLC assessment using the MOS SF-36 questionnaire.8-week therapy of stage II hypertensive disease associated with metabolic syndrome using individually selected doses of atorvastatin (20 to 40 mg/d) significantly reduced atherogenic cholesterol fraction and serum leptin levels; it had positive effect on carbohydrate and purine metabolism and safely maintained positive dynamics of subjective assessment of most points of the MOS SF-36 questionnaire.
