Aim. To compare the effect of beta-blocker therapy (bisoprolol and nebivolol) on the dynamics of fibrotic and vascular endothelial dysfunction markers in elderly hypertensive patients after ischemic stroke (IS).Material and methods. This prospective cohort study included 75 hypertensive patients who were admitted to the hospital due to IS. The mean age of patients was 67±6 years. The average National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 7±3. The followup period was 6 months. The control group consisted of 20 elderly people with hypertension without prior myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into groups based on received therapy: group 1 (n=38) — bisoprolol; group 2 (n=37) — nebivolol. The level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISAKit, USA). Vascular ultrasound was carried out using a LOGIQP9 (GE) system according to the Celermajer method.Results. After 6-month nebivolol, we revealed a decrease in the level of MMP-9 by 30,2% (p<0,01), TIMP-1 by 15,6% (p<0,05). After 6-month bisoprolol therapy, the level of MMP-9 decreased by 14,5% (p<0,05), while TIMP-1 did not change. Intergroup comparison found that when using nebivolol, there was a higher decrease in the level of MMP-9 by 15,7% (p<0,05), TIMP-1 by 9,7% (p<0,05), MMP-9/TIMP-1 by 7,8% (p<0,05) than with bisoprolol therapy. After 6-month bisoprolol therapy, there was a decrease in the proportion of patients with severe endothelial dysfunction (ED) by 7,9% (p<0,05). Two patients from the nebivolol group moved into mild ED category. The number of patients with moderate ED increased by 19% (p<0,01), while prevalence of severe ED decreased by 24,4% (p<0,01).Conclusion. The results obtained indicate that the beta-blocker nebivolol at an average dose of 8,55+1,75 mg/day significantly reduces the vascular fibrosis, normalizes the ratio of collagen synthesis and degradation markers, improves the vasodilation brachial artery properties in comparison with bisoprolol in elderly hypertensive patients after IS.

Background: Presence of overt proteinuria has been independently linked to greater stroke risk. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between the for ischemic stroke and albuminurea as a marker for vascular events. Microalbuminuria, is an early marker of both kidney disease and endothelial dysfunction, may be associated with global vascular risk, but the nature and relationship between microalbuminuria and incident ischemic stroke has not been clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of microalbuminuria and ischemic stroke.Methods: Study enrolled 150 admitted patients of acute ischemic stroke. The patients were assessed by questionnaire, microalbuminuria, creatinine clearance after detailed history taking and thorough clinical examination.Results: The combined common risk factors were HTN (80%), diabetes (33%) and smoking (53%). The hypertensive patients had 8 times higher risk of microalbuminuria as compared to normotensive patients (95% 1.8-31.0 p<0.05). Among diabetes patients had risk of microalbuminuria 30 times higher compared to euglycemic patients (95% CL 9.6-78.8 p<0.01). The smoker patients had 8 times risk of microalbuminuria (CL 95%-1.2-22.8 p<0.16). However, the patients who had dyslipidemia had risk of microalbuminuria 1.07 times who have normal lipid level, but it was statistically insignificance (98% CL 0.8-4.1 p>0.05). The 38 patients out of 46 patients who had microalbuminuria has high normal serum creatinine with creatinine clearance (45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. (82% versus. 4.4% 30.44 mL/min/173m2). The risk of microalbuminuria was higher in patients who had high normal serum creatinine (1.4 mg/dL) with creatinine clearance of 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 versus normal serum creatinine 0.8 mg/dL.Conclusions: The finding of the study, show the microalbuminuria is an independent risk factor for vascular endothelial dysfunction, in patient of diabetes early renal dysfunction and HTN, extrapolating the vascular event (ischemic stroke).
