The Possible Influence of Bisphosphonate Therapy and Its Combination With Statins on Parameters of Aortic Stiffness in Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Abstract:The study shows that addition of statins to osteoporotic therapy in postmenopausal women with different cardiovascular risk beside desired hypolipidemic effect and reduction of arterial stiffness also elevates BMD at femoral neck by 4,9% from the baseline (p<0.05). Bisphosphonates therapy in postmenopausal women gives additional reduction of central systolic arterial pressure of 4.1 mm Hg with the tendency to improvement in the arterial stiffness. The dynamics of aortal stiffness was correlated with changer… Show more
