Figure 2 Improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation after two weeks of cerivastatin. Increase in forearm blood flow in percent from baseline (%) after the infusion of acetylcholine with increasing doses in the cerivastatin group (n = 17, open circle = before therapy, solid circle = after therapy) and the placebo group (n = 18, open box = before therapy, solid box = after therapy). Comparison of the changes between treatment group and placebo (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; analysis of variance [ANOVA] p < 0.05).
