Aim. To study the effectiveness of a fixed combination of perindopril and amlodipine, with the subsequent addition of indapamide-retard in male patients with arterial hypertension (AH), obesity and severe sleep apnea (OSAS). Materials and methods. The study included 43 male patients in whom antihypertensive therapy titration was performed to achieve target blood pressure values with a fixed combination of calcium antagonist amlodipine (10 mg) and an angiotensin-converting inhibitor perindopril (5-10 mg) and indapamide-retard. At baseline and after 4-6 weeks, the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy was monitored according to clinical measurements and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). An assessment of the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), aortic PWV (aoPWV), and ankle-brachial PWV (abPWV) was performed. Results and discussion. Target blood pressure values (according to clinical blood pressure, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring) during therapy with amlodipine 10 mg and perindopril 10 mg reached 65% of patients and another 30% reached target blood pressure when adding indapamide-retard 1.5 mg, that is - 95% of all patients included in the study. Upon reaching the target blood pressure values, a significant decrease in cfPWV, aoPWV and abPWV was observed. Conclusion. The fixed combination of perindopril arginine and amplodipine, with the addition of indapamide retard in male patients with hypertension 1st degree in the presence of obesity and severe OSAS allows to reach effective control of blood pressure and improve the elastic properties of large arteries, which can lead to a favorable organoprotective effect in this category of patients.

Goal: to study the effectiveness of combination antihypertensive therapy (AHT) and its influence on the indices characterizing the arterial stiffness of various types in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) in combination with obesity and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Material and methods. The study included 27 male patients with hypertension [143.0 (142.0; 150.0)/91.0 (85.3; 94.8) mm Hg. century], obesity [body mass index of 33.8 (32.0; 37.2) kg/m2] and OSA was severe [the index of apnea/hypopnea - AHI - 46.8 (33.3; 63.4) events per hour] who underwent AHT titration to achieve target values of blood pressure (BP), a fixed combination of the calcium antagonist amlodipine (10 mg) and the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril (5-10 mg). At baseline and after 4-6 weeks when reaching target blood pressure was assessed pulse wave velocity (PWV) using different instrumental techniques. Carotid-femoral PWV (CFSP) was determined by applanation tonometry (SphygmoСor AtCor, Australia), aortic PWV - ultrasonic technique in the descending aorta (thoracic spine), the ankle-brachial PWV - using volumetric sphygmography (VaseraVS-1000 Fukuda Dens, Japan). Results. The target pressure (according to clinical blood pressure, daily monitoring blood pressure) on the background of amlodipine 10 mg and perindopril 5 mg was 58% patients and 42% of patients reached the target level of blood pressure against the background amlodipine 10 mg and perindopril 10 mg. On a background of 4-6 weeks of admission AHT 33.8% increase in the number of patients with a normal circadian profile of blood pressure - «dipper». Upon reaching the target blood pressure revealed a significant decrease CFSP, ankle-brachial PWV and aortic PWV 11.4, 11.0 and 15.4%, respectively. Conclusion. A fixed combination of perindopril arginine and amlodipine in patients with arterial hypertension of the 1st degree in the presence of obesity and OSA allows achieving a good level of BP control, to improve the performance of the daily profile and to improve the elastic properties of large arteries, which has a beneficial protective effect in these patients.

The aim – to assess the effects of different fixed double combinations of antihypertensive drugs and analyze their impact on heart remodeling in patients with arterial hypertension and hypothyroidism. Materials and methods. The study included 50 patients with hypertension and hypertension, which were divided into 2 groups by the method of blind envelopes of 25 people each. Patients in group 1 were assigned a fixed combination of perindopril with indapamide, patients in group 2 were assigned a fixed combination of perindopril with amlodipine. The groups were statistically compared by age, duration of hormonal substitution therapy, duration of hypertension, level of office SBP, DBP at inclusion in the study. In terms of body mass index, the study groups were comparable, but the number of obese patients was higher in group 2 (p=0.05). Observation of patients lasted 12 months.Results and discussion. The studied fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs, namely perindopril with indapamide and perindopril with amlodipine provide a reduction in blood pressure in patients with hypertension with concomitant hypothyroidism according to the results of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Control of blood pressure in patients with arterial hypertension and concomitant hypothyroidism during a year of antihypertensive therapy provides a reduction in the severity of heart remodeling, the nature and extent of which depends on both the presence of obesity and the choice of a fixed combination of antihypertensive drugs.Conclusions. The results showed that in patients with AН and hypothyroidism achievement of euthyroid state contributes to BP reduction, but requires further administration of antihypertensive therapy. We studied fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs, namely perindopril with indapamide and perindopril with amlodipine in patients with AG and associated hypothyroidism provide reliable blood pressure reduction according to the results of outpatient blood pressure monitoring (р<0.05). The fixed combination of perindopril with amlodipine compared with the fixed combination of perindopril with indapamide provides a significantly more significant effect on the regression of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy, namely, a decrease in myocardial mass index by a degree of 2.7 in patients with obesity (р<0,01) myocardial mass index by body surface area in patients without obesity (p=0.06).

The aim of the studyis to evaluate the efficacy of the fixed combination of beta adrenergic receptor blocking agents (β-AB) bisoprolol and dihydropyridine calcium channel inhibitor (CCI) amlodipine in patients with uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AH), stableischemic heart disease (IHD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in actual clinical practice.Material and methods. The study enrolled 61 patients with uncontrolled AH, stable IHD and MS in the open prospective randomized study. The patients were randomized into 2 groups, using opaque and sealed envelopes. Patients in group 1 (n =30) had been receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor or ACE-i) - ramipril in dose of 10 mg/day (Hartil, Egis), fixed combination of bisoprolol and amlodipine (Concor AM, Takeda) in different doses. Patients in group 2 (control, n=31) should have been treated at the discretion of the doctor, necessarily the treatment should have included the free combination of ACE inhibitors, generic b-AB and dihydropyridine CCI. Initially, and after 12 weeks of treatment we conducted 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (APBM) with the assessment of key indicators of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring results, the parameters of the blood vessel hardness and central blood pressure. The Statistical analyses of the results were carried out using the software package Statistica 6.1 (StatSoft Inc., United States).Results. After 12 weeks of therapy, the target level of BP was - 96,7% in the 1st group and 87,1% in the 2nd group of patients. The application of Concor AM was accompanied by significant improvements of the indicators of APBM and of the blood vessel hardness and central blood pressure characteristics. In addition, the usage of Concor AM provides the normalization of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring results in 73% of patients. In the control group we determined the positive, but less significant changes in the indicators of APBM and rarer normalization of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring results than in the group of patients, administrating Concor AM.Conclusion. In patients with AH, IHD and MS the administration of Concor AM is provided a significant antihypertensive and vasoprotective effects, which are more effective by the side of using free combination of β-AB and dihydropyridine CCI.

Background and Objectives: This study aims to determine prevalence of masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUH) in frail geriatric patients with arterial hypertension and thus show the role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) since hypertension occurs in more than 80% of people 60+ years and cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide. Despite modern pharmacotherapy, use of combination therapy and normal office blood pressure (BP), patients’ prognoses might worsen due to inadequate therapy (never-detected MUH). Materials and Methods: 118 frail geriatric patients (84.2 ± 4.4 years) treated for arterial hypertension with office BP < 140/90 mmHg participated in the study. 24-h ABPM and clinical examination were performed. Results: Although patients were normotensive in the office, 24-h measurements showed that BP values in 72% of hypertensives were not in the target range: MUH was identified in 47 (40%) patients during 24 h, in 48 (41%) patients during daytime and nocturnal hypertension in 60 (51%) patients. Conclusions: ABPM is essential for frail geriatric patients due to high prevalence of MUH, which cannot be detected based on office BP measurements. ABPM also helps to detect exaggerated morning surge, isolated systolic hypertension, dipping/non-dipping, and set and properly manage adequate treatment, which reduces incidence of cardiovascular events and contributes to decreasing the financial burden of society.

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.
