PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6-Months

Population: Physician withdrawals, loss to follow-up, drug compliance \<70%, unrelated injury, and self-withdrawal reduced number analyzed. Also, participant movement during FMD assessment and/or poor ultrasound image quality due to difficult brachial artery anatomy or poor circulation led to some unusable data and thus lowered the analyzable sample size.

Measure
Atorvastatin
n=8 Participants
6-Months Atorvastatin Therapy; 40mg oral, once daily Atorvastatin: 6-Months of Atorvastatin (Lipitor); 40mg, oral, once daily.
Sugar Pill (Placebo)
n=3 Participants
6-Months Placebo (sugar pill); oral, once daily Sugar Pill (Placebo): 6-Months of placebo (sugar) pill; oral, once daily
Change From Baseline in Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation at 6-months
-0.5 percentage change
Interval -2.9 to 1.9
-3.4 percentage change
Interval -7.3 to 0.6

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6-Months

Population: Discrepant sample sizes are due to lack of reliability of measures. If measures were unreliable they were excluded.

Carotid Artery Compliance is a measure of arterial stiffness. Higher arterial stiffness places persons at higher risk for CVD.
