ROSUVASTATIN CAN REDUCE AORTIC STIFFNESS IN HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC PATIENTS BY FAVORABLE HEMODYNAMIC CHANGES, INDEPENDENT OF LIPID LOWERING AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), lipid profiles, hsCRP and metabolic parameters, including fasting blood glucose, insulin and insulin sensitivity measured by quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI), were measured at baseline and after 2 months.
