Text: Atorvastatin did not influence central aortic pressures (change in aortic systolic blood pressure, -0. 5 mm Hg [95 % CI, -2. 3 to 1. 2], P = 0. 5 ; change in aortic pulse pressure, -0. 4 mm Hg [95 % CI, -1. 9 to 1. 0], P = 0. 6) and had no influence on augmentation index (change in augmentation index, -0. 4 % ; 95 % CI, -1. 7 to 0. 8 ; P = 0. 5) or heart rate (change in heart rate, 0. 25 bpm ; 95 % CI, -1. 3 to 1. 8 ; P = 0. 7) compared with placebo.
