The Effects of Statin Therapy on the Human Airway

Conclusion: Statins may have beneficial pleiotropic effects in addition to their actions as potent lipid-lowering agents particularly in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and post lung transplantation. Further human studies are required to substantiate their possible potential as many of the clinical trials performed to date have not demonstrated the translation of results of these promising scientific and observational studies into positive outcomes in well-designed, randomized, placebo-controlled human trials.
