Simvastatin causes pulmonary artery relaxation by blocking smooth muscle ROCK and calcium channels: Evidence for an endothelium-independent mechanism
Simvastatin reduces pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy in animal models of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is thought to restore endothelial dysfunction. In vivo effects of drugs are complicated by several factors and little is known of the direct effects of stat...
