- W2142920005 abstract "Lipid-lowering therapy in individuals with high risk of cardiovascular disease reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease. However, few studies have assessed the benefits of cholesterol lowering for primary prevention of coronary heart disease in hypertensive patients with mild dyslipidemia or without conventional dyslipidemia. The large, randomized Management of Elevated Cholesterol in the Primary Prevention Group of Adult Japanese Study showed a 33% reduction in coronary heart disease incidence with pravastatin as the primary prevention in Japanese patients. We conducted an exploratory analysis of the effect of diet plus pravastatin therapy on the primary prevention of cardiovascular events (coronary heart disease, coronary heart disease plus cerebral infarction, and cardiovascular disease) in the 3277 patients with hypertension during the 5-year follow-up. There were no significant differences in mean baseline total cholesterol, blood pressure levels, or variation in blood pressure during the 5-year period between the diet (n=1664) and diet plus pravastatin (n=1613) groups. In the diet plus pravastatin group, the relative risk of coronary heart disease plus cerebral infarction was reduced by 35% (hazard ratio: 0.65; CI: 0.46 to 0.93; P=0.02), cerebral infarction by 46% (hazard ratio: 0.54; CI: 0.29 to 0.98; P=0.04), and cardiovascular disease by 33% (hazard ratio: 0.67; CI: 0.49 to 0.91; P=0.01). In patients without a history of cardiovascular disease who have hypertension and mildly elevated cholesterol, pravastatin was effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease, particularly cerebral infarction. Hence, in patients with hypertension with mildly elevated cholesterol levels, treatment with a statin is advisable to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease." @default.
