Statin therapy improves brachial artery vasodilator function in patients with Type 1 diabetes and microalbuminuria

Aims  Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients with microalbuminuria have endothelial dysfunction associated with the degree of albuminuria but not with LDL‐cholesterol levels. Lipid‐lowering agents such as statins may still be of benefit as they can correct endothelial dysfunction by both lipid and non‐lipid mechanisms. We therefore examined the effects of atorvastatin on brachial artery endothelial dysfunction in these patients.
