Combined lipid-lowering and antihypertensive therapy effects on hemostasis in metabolic sydrome patients
Abstract
The authors studied effects of short-term (8 weeks) combined lipid-lowering and antihypertensive therapy effects on hemostatic parameters in metabolic syndrome (MS) patients. The treatment with fibrates and antihypertensive medications was associated with fibrinogen level reduction (for combination of fenofibrate and atenolol). Statin therapy was associated with fibrinogen level decrease (lovastatin plus perindopril) and fibrinolysis activation (simvastatin plus indapamide). Possible pleiotropic mechanisms of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive medications could beneficially influence hemostasis system.
