Effect of statin use on systolic blood pressure, salt sensitivity and pulse pressure.

Blood Pressure (BP) analysis 1070 observations Model 2†
Statin effect (Adjusted β) p value
Systolic BP in all 4 measurements (HSbase,HSstim,LSbase,LSstim)* mmHg −5.57 p =0.001
Systolic BP on HS (HSbase,HSstim) mmHg −6.03 p =0.001
Systolic BP on LS (LSbase,LSstim) mmHg −5.46 p = 0.001
Salt sensitivity of BP (Systolic HSbase – Systolic LSbase) mmHg −5.85 p <0.001
Pulse pressure in all 4 measurements (Systolic-Diastolic) mmHg −2.95 p =0.004
