A Double-blind Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Center Study to Assess the Impact of Statins on the Autonomic Nervous System and Cardiac Structure/Function in Non-Ischemic Heart Failure
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating atorvastatin and placebo for Heart Failure, Congestive. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of the investigators' study is to further understand the potentially beneficial effects of statin therapy in patients with heart failure. It is hypothesized that statins will 1) increase the heart's pumping ability 2) improve functioning of the sympathetic nervous system and 3) decrease immune activation in heart failure.
