Due to the active professional activities of women aged 45-60, in the modern society, the after-care treatment of female patients with essential arterial hypertension (stages I-II , grades 1-2 ) under pressure of climacteric syndrome is of high social and economic importance. The specialists of medical rehabilitation are the problem of finding effective technologies of medical and non-medical series for improving the quality of life of women in this age group. This article presents the results of after-care treatment of women with essential arterial hypertension and mild or moderate climacteric syndrome (92 females aged 50±4.5) by means of the use of standard hypotensive pharmaceuticals (Candesartan, Bisoprolol, and Hydrochlorothiazide), non-hormonal pharmaceuticals (Klimadynon Uno), and spectral phototherapy as a physiotherapy approach. Such treatment resulted in reliable stabilization of blood pressure, vegetative functions, responsiveness, anxiety, encephalitic circulatory dynamics according to the REG data, and WAN indicators. The average clinical response of the control group amounts to 81.4 %, while that of the experimental group makes up 65.5 %. The key results are sustainable blood pressure stabilization, improved overall health, decreased frequency and severity of the climacteric syndrome along with stabilized vegetative functions, improved encephalitic circulatory dynamics, and psycho-emotional state.

The Complement System

The purpose of the study was to assess the parameters of innate immunity in patients with essential arterial hypertension and to establish a relationship with the effectiveness of antihypertensive pharmacotherapy. Materials and methods. The study included 48 patients with essential arterial hypertension stage II, arterial hypertension 2 degree and hypertrophy of the left ventricular myocardium, which were divided into 2 groups: the first group (25 patients) - these are patients whose blood pressure reached the target values, and the second group (23 patients) are patients whose blood pressure did not reach the target values against the background of antihypertensive therapy (perindopril - 5 mg/day and amlodipine - 5 mg/day) (group 2). Indicators of 18 healthy donors were used as a comparison group (control group). Results. In patients with essential arterial hypertension of group 1, compared with the control group, the concentration of IL-1α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-2, C4- and C5a-components of the complement system and factor H is significantly higher and the level of C3 is lower-component of the complement system. In patients with essential arterial hypertension of group 2, more pronounced changes in the cytokine link of the immunity and the complement system were established before the start of antihypertensive therapy. After the antihypertensive therapy in patients with essential arterial hypertension of the 1st group in the blood plasma, the concentration of TNF, IL-1α, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist significantly decreased, but not to the values of the control group, and in patients of the 2nd group, the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy in correcting parameters innate immunity was found to be less effective. Conclusion. Revealing the participation of innate immunity indicators in the formation of arterial hypertension opens up new possibilities for the pathogenetic therapy of this disease and developing measures to prevent or level the damage to target organs.

Objective. The aim of study is asses of the endothelial functional features in patient with bronchial asthma with different types of blood pressure (BP) circadial rhythm. Design and methods. 62 patients with bronchial asthma (from 25 to 60 years old) were included in our study. Control group was represented by 30 healthy people for examination of endothelial function and 77 patients with essential arterial hypertension for 24-h blood pressure rhythm analysis. We described 2 groups of patients («dippers» and «non-dippers») by ambulatory 24-h blood pressure monitoring. Results. «Non-dipper» type was significantly prevalent in patient with asthma in comparative with patients with essential arterial hypertension (51,6% opposite 33,7%). The flow-depended endothelial dysfunction is most common in patient with asthma (dippers and non-dippers) than in control group. Negative correlation between nitroglycerin-depended vasodilatation and night-depressing systolic and diastolic blood pressure degree was presented in the study. Conclusion. We founded associations between endothelial dysfunction and BP circadial rhythm in patients with bronchial asthma, especially in «non-dippers».

Abstract Background Asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AHU) is defined as elevated serum uric acid (UA) concentration without symptoms. This study aimed to determine the effects of AHU treatment with allopurinol on selected hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD) indices in patients with uncomplicated essential arterial hypertension (AH). MethodsPatients aged 30-70 years with AHU and essential hypertension grade 1-2 with adequate blood pressure (BP) control, without previous urate lowering therapy (ULT) were divided into two groups: a) receiving allopurinol (ULT group) and b) age-and sex matched patients without ULT (control group). Both groups received UA-lowering diet. BP (office, 24 hour and central), echocardiographic parameters, pulse-wave velocity, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and lab tests (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured at baseline and at 6 months follow-up.ResultsOut of 100 participants 87 completed the study (44 ULT patients and 43 controls). At 6 months follow-up, there was a significantly greater reduction in serum UA concentration in the ULT group than in the control group (464±68.8 µmol/l vs 314±55.6 µmol/l, p<0.0001). Patients receiving allopurinol had significant reductions in office systolic (137±11.8 mmHg vs 134±9.3 mmHg; p=0.025) and diastolic BP (83±9.9 mmHg vs 79±8.7 mmHg, p=0.017), central systolic BP (56±8.9 mmHg vs 51±12.9 mmHg, p=0.046), pulse pressure (43±10.4 mmHg vs 39±11.2 mmHg, p=0.017), IMT (0.773±0.121 mm vs 0.752±0.13 mm, p=0.044), left atrium volume index (40±13.5 ml/m2 vs 38±12.3 ml/m2, p=0.044), and hs-CRP level (3.36±2.73 mg/l vs 2.74±1.91 mg/l, p=0.028) compared to controls. The decrease in UA concentration was significantly related to the reduction in IMT (R=0.37, p<0.001), central SBP (R=0.26, p=0.015) and hs-CRP concentration (R=0.30, p=0.004). Multivariate regression analysis revealed the independent relationship between reduction in IMT and UA lowering (R=0.3234, R2=0.0722, p<0.026).ConclusionsIn patients with AH and asymptomatic hyperuricemia treatment with allopurinol leads to further improvement in BP control and reduction in HMOD intensity, in particular IMT. The decrease in hs-CRP concentration associated with ULT may have a beneficial effect on patient long-term prognosis.

The Impact

Objective: to investigate the impact of indapamide / perindopril single-pill combination (I / P SPC) on arterial stiffness parameters, blood pressure (BP) level and BP variability (BPV) in middle-aged patients with stage II grade 1–2 essential arterial hypertension (EAH). Materials and methods. We retrospectively formed a group of patients with stage II grade 1–2 EAH who had not previously received regular antihypertensive therapy (AHT) (n=52, mean age 52.9±6.0 years). All patients were treated with I / P SPC and all of them achieved target office BP level (less than 140 / 90 mm Hg). After 12 weeks of follow-up (from the time of reaching the target BP) assessment of AHT effectiveness (general clinical data, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring [ABPM], volume sphygmography, echocardiography), and vascular stiffness evaluation were performed.Results. At the end of follow-up office systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), pulse BP, day-time, night-time and 24‑hour SBP and DBP significantly (p<0.001 for all) decreased. According to the ABPM data day-time, nighttime, and 24‑hour systolic BPV significantly decreased (p=0.029, p=0.006 and p<0.001, respectively); day-time and 24‑hour diastolic BPV also significantly decreased (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Day-night standard deviation (SDdn) significantly decreased too (p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively). Volumetric sphygmography showed significant decrease of right cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) (from 8.20±1.29 to 7.58±1.44, p=0.001) and of left CAVI (from 8.13±1.40 to 7.46±1.43, p<0.001), as well as reduction of the number o f patients with a right- and / or left-CAVI >9.0 (from 32.7 to 11.5 %, p=0.018). According to assessment of arterial stiffness using the Vasotens24 software package, the arterial stiffness index (ASI) significantly (p<0.001) decreased from 153.5±29.9 to 138.3±20.0 (by –9.2±13.1 %). Transthoracic echocardiography data demonstrated significant decrease (p<0.001) in effective arterial elastance (from 1.82±0.43 to 1.58±0.36 mm Hg; by –11.85±16.29 %) and significant (p<0.001) increase in the arterial compliance – from 1.27±0.34 to 1.54±0.38 mm Hg / ml (+26.95±38.06 %).Conclusion. In AHT naive patients 40–65 years old with stage II grade 1–2 EAH therapy with I / P SPC provided effective 24‑hour BP control, reduced BPV and improved arterial stiffness parameters.

Hemodynamic Assessment

BackgroundCushing’s disease is a rare condition associated with a high cardiovascular risk and hypercortisolemia-related hemodynamic dysfunction, the extent of which can be assessed with a noninvasive method, called impedance cardiography. The standard methods for hemodynamic assessment, such as echocardiography or ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may be insufficient to fully evaluate patients with Cushing’s disease; therefore, impedance cardiography is being currently considered a new modality for assessing early hemodynamic dysfunction in this patient population. The use of impedance cardiography for diagnosis and treatment of Cushing’s disease may serve as personalized noninvasive hemodynamic status assessment and provide a better insight into the pathophysiology of Cushing’s disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the hemodynamic profile of Cushing’s disease patients and compare it with that in the control group.Material and MethodsThis observational prospective clinical study aimed to compare 54 patients with Cushing’s disease (mean age 41 years; with 64.8% of this population affected with arterial hypertension) and a matched 54-person control group (mean age 45 years; with 74.1% of this population affected with arterial hypertension). The hemodynamic parameters assessed with impedance cardiography included the stroke index (SI), cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), velocity index (VI), (ACI), Heather index (HI), and thoracic fluid content (TFC).ResultsThe Cushing’s disease group was characterized by a higher diastolic blood pressure and a younger age than the control group (82.9 vs. 79.1 mmHg, p=0.045; and 41.1 vs. 44.9 years, p=0.035, respectively). Impedance cardiography parameters in the Cushing’s disease group showed: lower values of SI (42.1 vs. 52.8 ml/m2; p ≤ 0.0001), CI (2.99 vs. 3.64 l/min/m2; p ≤ 0,0001), VI (42.9 vs. 52.1 1/1000/s; p=0.001), ACI (68.7 vs. 80.5 1/100/s2; p=0,037), HI (13.1 vs. 15.2 Ohm/s2; p=0.033), and TFC (25.5 vs. 27.7 1/kOhm; p=0.006) and a higher SVRI (2,515 vs. 1,893 dyn*s*cm-5*m2; p ≤ 0.0001) than those in the control group.ConclusionsCushing’s disease is associated with significantly greater vasoconstriction and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. An individual assessment with impedance cardiography may be useful in Cushing’s disease patients in order to identify subclinical cardiovascular complications of chronic hypercortisolemia as potential therapeutic targets.

Introduction. The aim of this research was to quantify the presence of occupational stressors and to analyze their effects on temporary and permanent working ability of workers with arterial hypertension. Material and Methods. The research included 817 workers. The study group consisted of 504 workers with arterial hypertension without other diseases or disorders, whereas the control group was composed of 313 healthy workers. Results. The study group showed a significantly higher level of total occupational stress index as well as of the stress index related to high job demands, conflicts at work place, underload and time limit (p<0.001) compared to the control group. A positive and statistically significant correlation between total occupational stress index and systolic and diastolic blood pressure was found in the study group. The total level of occupational stress over 40 led to a significant increase of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in persons with arterial hypertension. The analysis of temporary working inability determined a statistically significantly higher level of lost workdays per a worker in the study group compared to the controls (p<0.001). The average number of lost workdays per a worker in a year in the study group increased statistically significantly along with the occupational stress index values at their work place (p<0.001). In the study group the number of workers eligible for disability retirement over a period of one year was significantly higher compared to the controls. The number of workers eligible for disability retirement in the exposed group increased statistically significantly along with occupational stress index values at their work place. Conclusion. The results show that occupational stress is a significant factor in the development of arterial hypertension and reduction of work ability of exposed workers.

Background: several studies report an increased risk for asthmatic subjects to develop arterial hypertension and the relationship between these two diseases, frequently co-existing, still has some unclear aspects. Methods: The BADA (blood pressure levels, clinical features and markers of subclinical cardiovascular damage of asthma patients) study is aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the cardiovascular comorbidities of asthma and their impact on the clinical outcome. The main exclusion criteria were the presence of other respiratory diseases, current smoking, any contraindication to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Results: The overall percentage of asthmatics having also hypertension was 75% (30 patients) vs. 45% (18 patients) of the control group (p: 0.012). Reduced level of FEV1 (but not inhaled steroid therapy) was associated to newly-diagnosed hypertension (p: 0.0002), higher day SBP levels (p: 0.003), higher day DBP levels (p: 0.03), higher 24 h-SBP levels (p: 0.005) and higher 24h-DBP levels (p: 0.03). The regression analysis performed taking into account sex, age, diabetes, fasting glucose, and body mass index confirms the independent role played by asthma: odds ratio (OR): 3.66 (CI: 1.29–11.1). Conclusions: hypertension is highly prevalent in asthma; the use of ABPM has allowed the detection of a considerable number of unrecognized hypertensives.

Athletes of power sports, often appear to us as a model of a beautiful and healthy body, but the health of the cardiovascular system ofthese athletes has long falls under the gaze of cardiologists and sport physicians. Purpose of the study. A comparative analysis of the influence of a uniform and high-intensity aerobic exercise on blood pressure lowering power sports athletes with hypertension. Research Methods. The study involved 83 representatives of power sports (bodybuilding) with arterial hypertension. The average age of male athletes was 31.2 ± 4.5 years, and the body mass index was 32.4 ± 2.8 kg/m 2. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: examination, interrogation, triple measurement of blood pressure, ergospirometry and methods of mathematical statistics. Athletes were randomized into three groups: interval training group (n = 33), uniform training (n = 30) and control group (n = 20). For 120 days (3 times a week), the athletes of the main groups performed various aerobic work programs, and the control group athletes trained according to their traditional strength protocol. Results. After 120 days of physical rehabilitation, a similar, significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure occurred in themain intervention groups. A decrease in blood pressure in the control group was not statistically significant. Conclusions. Despite the similar benefits in cardio-rehabilitation interval work required 38% less time, which can significantly affect adherence to a non-specific for this sport activity and screening of participant’s lengthy rehabilitation.

Aim. To study the specifics of lead, zinc, copper, magnesium and calcium metabolism in children and adolescents with essential arterial hypertension living in different ecological settings. Methods. 100 children and adolescents aged 13-17 years with arterial hypertension, living in «industrial» (52 patients) and «residential» (48 patients) areas were examined in cardiology ward. 33 healthy children and adolescents comparable by age and gender were included as healthy controls. According to 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, groups with stable, labile arterial hypertension and «white coat hypertension» were formed. The levels of elements in 24-hour urine and in serum were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results. In children and adolescents with stable arterial hypertension living in industrial areas, parameters of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (mean 24-hour and mean daytime systolic blood pressure values, time of systolic hypertension, mean 24-hour and mean daytime blood pressure values) were higher compared to the same parameters in children from residential areas, the difference was statistically significant. The study of elements metabolism revealed increased lead exposure in children with essential arterial hypertension living in industrial areas, and misbalance of essential elements in those patients compared to the same parameters in children from residential areas. Conclusion. Results suggest increased exposure to arterial hypertension and marked misbalance of essential elements in children and adolescents with essential arterial hypertension living in industrial areas.

Aim. To assess the effects of the multiple-set resistance exercise on the functional status of patients with Stage II essential arterial hypertension (EAH). Material and methods. In total, 40 patients with Stage II EAH, aged 45-55 years, took part in the physical rehabilitation programme, including exercise training on the resistance exercise machine. In the control group, weight lifting was followed by the complete relaxation of involved muscle groups and, therefore, a fast weight lowering. In the main group, the muscle relaxation after weight lifting was only partial, with a slower weight lowering, which resulted in increased lactate production and muscle ache. Ergospirometry, volumetric compression oscillometry, and resistance tests were used. Results. Blood pressure normalization, myocardial contractility increase, and exercise capacity improvement were more pronounced in the main group (p<0,05), as a greater extent of neuromuscular strain stimulates the hormone production both during and after the exercise session. Conclusion. The complex multiple-set resistance exercise programme demonstrated a marked beneficial effect in patients with Stage II EAH.
