Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effect of 96 weeks of rosuvastatin on pulse wave velocity (PWV) in 55 HIV-positive men with moderate cardiovascular risk.
- Both the rosuvastatin and placebo groups experienced an increase in PWV, showing no significant difference between the two at the end of the study.
- The results indicated that rosuvastatin did not have a beneficial effect on PWV compared to the placebo after 96 weeks.
