Abstract
Pravastatin administration improved FMD within 10 days and this favorable effect occurred before any significant reduction in blood lipids, revealing its pleiotropic effects during the early phase of an acute coronary syndrome. Circulating lipid peroxidation products in patients with UA decreased significantly during the same period independently of endothelial function and pravastatin therapy.
