Cardiovascular and inflammatory effects of simvastatin therapy in patients with COPD: a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: There is excess cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Aortic stiffness, an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk, and systemic and airway inflammation are increased in patients with the disease. Statins modulate aortic stiffness and ha...
