Objective: chronic sleep disturbance is a comorbid condition with arterial hypertension, often combined with affective disorders, anxiety, depression. Forced sleep deprivation in patients with hypertension indicates a high activity of the renin‑angiotensin‑aldosterone system (RAAS) and desynchronosis of biological rhythms caused by a probable deficit in melatonin secretion during the night. Timely elimination of any pathological process associated with insomnia and arterial hypertension (AH) in the early stages of its development is a prerequisite for the effectiveness of therapy. Therefore, initial therapy should help neutralize the adverse effects of RAAS and improve the 24‑hour blood pressure (BP) profile. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect of monotherapy with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, As well as in combination with a synthetic analogue of melatonin, on the course of hypertension and parameters of systemic hemodynamics in patients with first degree hypertension with insomnia at the onset of the disease. Combined therapy with an ACE inhibitor and a synthetic analogue of MT in patients with hypertension and insomnia was accompanied by an improvement in the clinical state, achievement of the target blood pressure level in most patients, positive dynamics of central blood pressure parameters and indicators reflecting the rigidity of peripheral arteries.

Aim. To assess effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of combined antihypertensive therapy (AHT) with an ACE inhibitor (perindopril) and thiazide-like diuretic (indapamide) in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension (AH). Material and methods. This open, one-centre study included 43 postmenopausal women with AH. For 3 months, the patients in the main group (MG; n=22) received indapamide MR (modified release) (1,5 mg/d) and perindopril. The comparison group (CG; n=21) was administered non-MR indapamide (2,5 mg/d) and perindopril. The dynamics of office blood pressure (BP) levels, 24-hour BP monitoring parameters, laboratory parameters, quality of life (QoL), as well as therapy safety and tolerability, was assessed. Results. In both groups, the treatment was clinically effective, safe, and QoL-improving. Target BP levels were achieved in the majority of the patients: 85,3 % and 72,4 % in the MG and CG, respectively. The combination therapy including indapamide MR provided greater improvement of circadian BP rhythm, larger reduction in both morning BP surge and increased BP variability, as well as target BP achievement in higher proportion of the patients. Conclusion. In postmenopausal women with AH, combined therapy with perindopril and indapamide MR provided more benefits, compared to the treatment with perindopril and non-MR indapamide.

The article discusses some of the changes in the 2013 European Guidelines in comparison with the previous revision with an emphasis on practical activities of cardiologists and therapists as well as the combined therapy of high blood pressure. Also, special attention is paid to one of the preferred combinations of antihypertensives – a combination of ACE inhibitor and calcium antagonist and, in particular perindopril and amlodipine.

The paper presents the results of research in which 50 women with essential hypertension illness (arterial hypertension I-II degree) have taken part. 20 patients received long-acting metoprolol therapy (Egilok - retard, EGIS AO) in the dose of 25-100 mg, if necessary in a combination with hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg. In group of comparison (30 subjects) treatment with enalapril (5-10 mg/сут) or by a combination of enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide was administarted. It is shown, that monotherapy by metoprolol-retard allowed to reach a «target» levels of blood pressure in 89,5 % of women, in 10,5 % cases the combined therapy was required. At 12-week of treatment significant improvement of parameters of concentration of attention and anxiety decrease was observed.

Results of foreign and Russian studies indicate a higher mortality rate of patients with concomitant cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. It has been proven that arterial hypertension, as one of the significant risk factors for the development of concomitant cardiovascular diseases, is associated with a more severe prognosis of COVID-19. This article presents the results of modern studies and large meta-analyzes of necessity and safety of the use of blockers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in patients with arterial hypertension and COVID-19. The data of studies show that an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) and a thiazide-like diuretic is a pathogenetically rational combination. It realizes various ways of lowering blood pressure by reducing the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is achieved by using an ACE inhibitor, and natriuresis due to diuretics. As an example, a highly effective fixed combination of drugs is considered, characterized by good tolerance, which consists of an ACE inhibitor lisinopril and a thiazide-like diuretic indapamide of prolonged action. The authors expressed the opinion that the appointment of the fixed combination drug Diroton Plus (Gedeon Richter) will contribute to effective control of blood pressure and organoprotection in conditions of increased thrombogenic and prooxidative potential, characteristic of COVID-19 both in the acute stage and within the post-COVID Syndrome.

The paper describes the results of the analysis of biological rhythms of blood pressure in patients with living in the northern region. The comparative analysis of chronograms of blood pressure shows that rhythmic pattern changes with the appearing of short ultradian rhythms, the decrease of phases dispersion of the studied arameters, reducing synchronization between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and diurnal variation of synchronization re observed in patients with psoriasis.
