摘要
Increased plasma levels of von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) are associated with high risk of coronary artery disease. The effect of statin therapy on vWF:Ag levels remains uncertain. Therefore the aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of statin therapy on vWF:Ag Levels. A systematic multiple-database search was carried out to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effect of statins on plasma vWF:Ag levels. Random-effect meta-analysis of 21 treatment arms revealed a significant decrease in plasma vWF:Ag levels following statin therapy (SMD: -0.54, 95 % CI: -0.87, -0.21, p = 0.001). In subgroup analyses, the greatest effect was observed with simvastatin (SMD: -1.54, 95 % CI: -2.92, -0.17, p = 0.028) and pravastatin (SMD: -0.61, 95 % CI: -1.18, -0.04, p = 0.035), but not with fluvastatin (SMD: -0.34, 95 % CI: -0.69, 0.02, p = 0.065), atorvastatin (SMD: -0.23, 95 % CI: -0.57, 0.11, p = 0.179) and rosuvastatin (SMD: -0.20, 95 % CI: -0.71, 0.30, p = 0.431). The lowering effect of statins on plasma vWF:Ag levels was greater in the subset of studies lasting >= 12 weeks (SMD: -0.70, 95 % CI: -1.19, -0.22, p = 0.005) compared with that of studies lasting <12 weeks (SMD: -0.34, 95 % CI: -0.67, 0.003, p = 0.052). Finally, low-intensity statin therapy was not associated with a significant reduction in vWF:Ag levels (SMD: -0.28, 95 % CI: -0.82, 0.27, p = 0.320), but a significant effect was observed in high-intensity statin trials (SMD: -0.66, 95 % CI: -1.07, -0.24, p = 0.002). This meta-analysis of available RCTs demonstrates a significant reduction in plasma vWF:Ag levels following statin therapy.
