Reduction in Arterial Stiffness after Switching from Pravastatin or Atorvastatin to Fluvastatin

Background and aims: Fluvastatin is reported to have a stronger influence on vessel walls than other statins; however, it is unclear whether there is a significant difference between the clinical effect of fluvastatin and that of other statins on arterial stiffness. The present study tested whether fluvastatin has a more beneficial effect on arterial stiffness, inflammatory biomarkers, and oxidative stress than other statins.
