Abstract :
This randomized open-label trial investigated whether autonomic cardiovascular control is altered in middle-aged men with combined hyperlipidemia and whether such alterations are affected by short-term, lipid-lowering therapy with atorvastatin and/or fenofibrate. Compared with normolipidemic subjects, untreated subjects with combined hyperlipidemia had several abnormalities of autonomic tone, indicating increased sympathetic tone and decreased baroreflex sensitivity. The alterations in autonomic cardiovascular control were partially reversible by each of the lipid-lowering drugs.
