Objective To investigate the effects of levamlodipine combined with atorvastatin on blood pressure in patients with primary hypertension.Methods Between January 2009 and November 2010,196 patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia in the outpatient and inpatient departments of our hospital were given levamlodipine and atorvastatin for 8 weeks,after which 120 patients with normal blood lipid were chosen and randomly divided into the control group(treated only by levamlodipine) and the treatment group(treated by levamlodipine combined with atorvastatin).After 20 weeks of the treatment,we observed their blood pressure.Results After twenty weeks of treatment,the diastolic and systolic pressure was significantly lower in the treatment group than that in the control group(P0.01).Conclusion For patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia who have undergone the treatment by levamlodipine and atorvastatin,after their blood lipid level decreases to normal,the continuous enhanced treatment by the two drugs has a better efficacy compared with the therapy of single levamlodipine in decreasing the blood lipid.
