Rationale: The influence of drugs on adaptation to high temperatures and seasonal variability of cardiovascular disease factors is one of the most important issues of treatment raised during re-cent heat waves. The safety of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) use during heat waves is quite controversial. Aim: To assess the seasonal variability of hemodynamic parameters, vessel wall stiffness, lipid, carbohydrate and electrolyte metabolism in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and to as-sess safety and effectiveness of fixed combination of Losartanum and Amlodipinum (Lortenza® KRKA) use according to one-year follow-up results. Materials and methods. The study included 26 patients with stage 1 and 2 AH aged from 42 to 81 years. Office blood pressure measurement, electrocardiography, volumetric sphygmography (pulse-wave velocity, cardio-ankle vascular index), serum chemistry, blood osmolarity tests were performed. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Heat Questionnaries and self-control diaries were also assessed. The baseline visit took place in spring of 2016, the first visit - in May-June 2016, the second - during the heat wave, the third - in September-October 2016, the fourth - in January-February 2017, and the fifth - in April-May 2017. Results. The treatment resulted in systolic and diastolic blood pressure decrease (р=0.000) to target value which persisted during the follow-up period. According to the self-control diaries 81% of patients did really control BP. During the heat wave only 58% of patients succeeded in BP control, in autumn - 63%, in winter and spring - 81% and 86%, respectively. By the third visit the heart rate decreased on -6.0 (-11.1; -2.8) beats per minute, p=0.007. The decrease in pulse-wave velocity from 15.2±3.4 m/s to 13.6±2.7 m/s, p=0.01 and CAVI on -2.1 (-2.9; -0.65), p=0.01 was observed on the third visit. Decrease in uric acid level (р

Actuality. The effect of drugs on adaptation to abnormal temperatures is one of the most important questions put to practical medicine by the heat waves of recent years. One of the controversial issues - safety of use during the heat wave of calcium channel blockers (ACC) and blockers of receptors for angiotensin II (ARBS). The goal is to evaluate the efficacy and security of treatment of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) during the heat wave of a fixed combination of ARBS+ACC (Lortenza, KRKA). Materials and methods. Included 26 patients with hypertension 1 and 2 degrees from 42 to 81 years. All patients underwent measurement of office blood pressure, electrocardiography, body sphygmography with the determination of the pulse wave velocity and selectively CAVI, biochemical analysis of blood, estimation of osmolarity of blood, questionnaire: visual analogue scale, a questionnaire for patients exposed to heat, the test of adherence to treatment Moriscos-Green. Estimated diaries of self-control of blood pressure. The inclusion visit took place in spring 2016, 1st visit was in May - June 2016, 2nd - during heat waves, 3rd - September - October 2016. Results. The observed decrease in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.000) to the target values, preserved for the whole period of observation. According to the diaries of self-control of blood pressure controlled blood pressure 81% of patients. During a heat wave, this value decreased to 58%, in autumn - to 63%. The 3rd visit achieved a reduction in heart rate at -6.0 (-11.1; and 2.8) beats/min; p=0.007. A noticeable decrease of the pulse wave velocity from 15.2±3.4 to 14.4 V±3.0 m/s; p=0.01 and CAVI in of-2.1 (to -2.9; -0.65); p=0.01; the decline in uric acid level c of 415.3 to 346.2 mmol/l (p=0.04) and creatinine on the 2nd visit compared to baseline (p=0.02). Electrolyte shifts and increasing the osmolarity of the blood during heat waves have not been identified. There is a growing commitment therapy (p=0.04) and quality of life to 20.0 (7.4; 23.3); p=0.000 by visual analogue scale. Conclusion. Fixed combination of losartan and amlodipine (Lorenza) is an effective, safe and may be recommended for patients receiving AG in the hottest period.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in most developed countries. Morphological and functional status of large arteries plays an important role in the pathogenesis of CVD. At the moment, there are two main methods of aortic stiffness assessment: pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement and central PW analysis. In advanced age, aortic stiffness increases, which manifests in increased PWV, elevated central blood pressure, and increased parameters of reflected PW. Similar changes can be observed in young patients with arterial hypertension. The existing evidence concerning obesity effects on aortic stiffness is contradictory and warrants further clarification.

40 adolescents aged 15–17 years with functional cardiovascular pathology of vegetative origin underwent a 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (using the oscillometric method BPLabVasotens, Peter Telegin LLC, Nizhny Novgorod) with an assessment of central blood pressure parameters and rigidity of the main arteries.The scientists found significantly higher values of central systolic pressure during the day and night hours in the group of adolescents with arterial hypertension (n=13) compared to adolescents with normal blood pressure (n=27). They determined significantly higher values of the pulse wave velocity both during 24 hours and in the day and night hours in the group with arterial hypertension compared to the group of adolescents with normal blood pressure. No differences were found in the parameters of the propagation time of the reflected pulse wave and the augmentation index. The time of the reflected pulse wave propagation was significantly lower at nighttime compared to the daytime. In the group with arterial hypertension, the rate of pulse wave propagation in the aorta correlated only with the values of diastolic pressure over 24 hours and diastolic pressure in the daytime. In the adolescents with normal blood pressure, the pulse wave velocity correlated with systolic and pulse blood pressure. The augmentation index in the group of adolescents with arterial hypertension correlated with diastolic pressure, in contrast to the group of adolescents with normal blood pressure, where such a correlation was not detected.

In a cross-sectional analysis of a case-control study in 2015, we revealed the association between increased arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity) and aircraft noise exposure. In June 2020, we evaluated the long-term effects, and the impact of a sudden decline in noise exposure during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown, on blood pressure and pulse wave velocity, comparing 74 participants exposed to long-term day-evening-night aircraft noise level > 60 dB and 75 unexposed individuals. During the 5-year follow-up, the prevalence of hypertension increased in the exposed (42% versus 59%, P =0.048) but not in the unexposed group. The decline in noise exposure since April 2020 was accompanied with a significant decrease of noise annoyance, 24-hour systolic (121.2 versus 117.9 mm Hg; P =0.034) and diastolic (75.1 versus 72.0 mm Hg; P =0.003) blood pressure, and pulse wave velocity (10.2 versus 8.8 m/s; P =0.001) in the exposed group. Less profound decreases of these parameters were noticed in the unexposed group. Significant between group differences were observed for declines in office and night-time diastolic blood pressure and pulse wave velocity. Importantly, the difference in the reduction of pulse wave velocity between exposed and unexposed participants remained significant after adjustment for covariates (−1.49 versus −0.35 m/s; P =0.017). The observed difference in insomnia prevalence between exposed and unexposed individuals at baseline was no more significant at follow-up. Thus, long-term aircraft noise exposure may increase the prevalence of hypertension and accelerate arterial stiffening. However, even short-term noise reduction, as experienced during the COVID-19 lockdown, may reverse those unfavorable effects.

Objective - to explore influence of valsartan monotherapy use and its use in combination with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) on pulse-wave velocity (PWV) and central arterial pressure (CAP) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of 1-2 grades in international VICTORY clinical trial. Materials and methods. The international multicenter prospective randomized clinical study VICTORY that lasted for 16 weeks included patients with 1-2 grades AH. In patients who previously received antihypertensive therapy a 7 days washout period was carried out. All patients started their therapy with 80 mg valsartan (Valsacor®, KRKA, Slovenia); in Russia the starter dose of Valsacor®, KRKA was 160 mg in previously treated patients that did not influence the study results. If after 4 weeks of treatment BP was more than 140/90 mm hg (more than 130/80 mm hg in high risk patients or in diabetes mellitus patients) the dose of valsartan was increased to 160 mg (320 mg in Russia) or diuretic in fixed combination with valsartan was added (160 mg valsartan/12.5 mg HCTZ): Valsacor® H 160 (KRKA, Slovenia). If target BP after 8 weeks of treatment was not reached valsartan dose was increased to 320 mg or fixed combination of valsartan and diuretic (160 mg/12.5 mg) was used. If target BP after 12 weeks of treatment was not reached - valsartan and diuretic 320 mg/12.5 mg were used. PWV and CAP (SphygmoCor®, AtCorMedical) were assessed at baseline and after 16 weeks of treatment. The primary endpoints were assessment of the impact of studied medications on aortic stiffness, aortic augmentation index and comparison of absolute medians of reached central and peripheral BP reduction with baseline value. Results. Of 365 patients included in the study 74 were included in PWV and CAP study subgroup. Valsartan and its combination with HCTZ were effective in CBP reduction. The mean absolute reduction of central systolic and diastolic BP after 16 weeks of treatment was 19.7±12.9 mm hg and 13.9±8.5 mm hg, respectively (р
