Low-dose fluvastatin and valsartan added on-top of optimal therapy substantially improves arterial wall characteristics in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Low-dose fluvastatin and valsartan, separately and in combination, substantially increase expression of SIRT1, PRKAA, and KLOTHO genes, which may be attributed to their so far unreported pleiotropic beneficial effects. This approach could be used for prevention of ageing (and longevity genes)-related disorders.

The approach consisting of short-term treatment with a very low-dose fluvastatin-valsartan combination acts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients. These observations along with the improvement of arterial function support the assumption that this approach could have an important clinical benefit in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients.

This pilot study revealed that intervention with low-flu/val importantly shifts the arterial wall phenotype in a lower risk direction. This improvement could be interpolated into clinical benefits that remain to be further studied.

Sub-therapeutic doses of fluvastatin and valsartan are more effective in expressing cardiovascular pleiotropic effects than therapeutic doses of fluvastatin and/or valsartan. These results could be of significant clinical relevance.
