Nowadays, there are quite encouraging experimental data concerning positive versatile effect of statins on lesser blood circulation. The results of study of this issue with participation of patients are singular and continue to be controversial still. The clinical substantiation of application of new pharmaceuticals effecting molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (re-modeling, endothelial dysfunction, function of right ventricle) requires carrying out of large investigations placebo-controlled by design and statistical processing. Precisely in this context the application of statins is of interest as potentially strategic direction in treatment of pulmonary hypertension.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В данном обзоре литературы рассматриваются перспективы применения статинов при легочной гипертензии. На сегодняшний день имеются весьма обнадеживающие экспериментальные данные о положительном многогранном воздействии статинов на малый круг кровообращения. Результаты изучения этого вопроса с участием пациентов единичны и пока остаются противоречивыми. Для клинического обоснования применения новых препаратов, воздействующих на молекулярные механизмы патогенеза легочной гипертензии (ремоделирование, эндотелиальную дисфункцию, функцию правого желудочка), необходимо проведение крупных плацебо-контролируемых по дизайну и статистической обработке исследований. Именно в этом контексте применение статинов представляет интерес как потенциально стратегическое направление в лечении легочной гипертензии.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>pulmonary hypertension</kwd><kwd>statins</kwd><kwd>clinical investigation</kwd><kwd>cardiorespiratory pathology</kwd><kwd>heart diseases</kwd><kwd>lungs diseases</kwd><kwd>right ventricle</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>легочная гипертензия</kwd><kwd>статины</kwd><kwd>клинические исследования</kwd><kwd>кардиореспираторная патология</kwd><kwd>заболевания сердца</kwd><kwd>заболевания легких</kwd><kwd>правый желудочек</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Диагностика и лечение легочной гипертензии.
