To observe the effect of rosuvastatin on left ventricular cardiac function, arteriosclerotic plaque and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in hypertensive patients with mild elevation of LDL-C.Seventy-nine patients with a SBP of 140-179 mmHg and/or a DBP of 90-109 mmHg and mild elevated LDL-C were treated with rosuvastatin for 12 months (n=40) or not (n=39). The changes of hs-CRP, arteriosclerosis plaque and cardiac function at the end of the 12-months treatment relative to the baseline levels were analyzed.After 12 months of treatment, LDL-C was decreased by 33.2% in rosuvastatin group but remained unchanged in patients without rosuvastatin treatment. The left ventricular peak filling rate (LVPFR) increased significantly from 1.85 to 2.59 (P0.05) and the serum levels of hs-CRP reduced significantly (P0.05) after rosuvastatin treatment. The size of the plaques reduced significantly after a 12-month rosuvastatin therapy.Rosuvastatin therapy on the basis of conventional anti-hypertensive drugs can obviously improve the left ventricular diastolic function and produce favorable effects on arteriosclerotic plaques. |
