The Influence of Atorvastatin on the Arterial Elasticity of CHD Patients with or without DM

摘要

CHD happens frequently with DM,and Atorvastatin is a common drug for CHD and DM patients.There have been researches indicating that Atorvastatin can improve the arterial elasticity,which can be assessed by a new measurement called baPWV(Brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity).This essay is about a research inclusive of 123 CHD patients with or without DM.According to different ways to group,it can draw several conclusions.Based on 7 kinds of grouping methods,two major conclusions are of importance:For either non-DM or DM CHD patients,Atorvastatin works to improve their arterial elasticity;However,Atorvastatin makes more improvement for non-DM CHD patients.
