In a study, which included 40 patients with essential hypertension, it was shown an improvement of the left ventricular structural indexes and kidney function by adding of rosuvastatin to a fixed dose combination of valsartan and amlodipine. It is confirmed by a greater reduction of the left ventricular mass index, an increase in glomerular filtration rate and reduction of the urinary albumin excretion while taking rosuvastatin in comparison with the control group.
