This article discusses the definition, classification and pathogenetic mechanisms of cognitive functions in arterial hypertension. The authors discuss the capabilities of the different classes of antihypertensive drugs in correction of cognitive impairments and prevention of dementia. The authors also discuss the advantages of the angiotensin II receptor blockers in prevention of dementia and in their potential mechanisms of cerebral protection. The article describes in detail the possibilities of valsartan in correction of cognitive impairments associated with arterial hypertension, the advantages of valsartan in comparison with calcium antagonists and its unique neuroprotective mechanisms. We show our own results of the study concerning fixed-dose combination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, and find out that this combination has high antihypertensive and cerebral protection (capacity to improve cognitive function) and effectiveness.

Abstract Background Hypertension is a critical health problem; it is a prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Many treatments to combat hypertension are available, while several patients are resistant to the standard therapeutic approaches. The association of two or more substances in a fixed-dose combination is effective and tolerated to substitute the standard therapeutic approach. Objective New UPLC-DAD method was developed and validated to assay a combination of eight antihypertensive drugs including a diuretic: hydrochlorothiazide, dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker: Amlodipine and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (sartans): valsartan, candesartan, eprosartan, olmesartan, losartan, and irbesartan in the pharmaceutical matrix. Methods Chromatographic separation was performed on an Acquity® UPLC C18 1.7 µm 2.1 × 100 mm column, with a gradient of buffer solution and acetonitrile, in the proportion of (80:20 v/v). Results Good resolution was obtained, and an optimal analysis time of less than 5 min was achieved. The method was validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines following the classical approach and accuracy profile, it is shown to be suitable for intended applications. The method was successfully used for quality control laboratories and the determination of these drugs combination in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

The paper gives the data of the authors’ trial of the effect of the fixed-dose combination antihypertensive drug lisinopril + amlodipine on blood pressure level and cognitive functions in 25 elderly patients with grades 1–2 arterial hypertension. The test drug has a high antihypertensive efficacy, as shown by both routine blood pressure measurements and 24-hour monitoring data. The findings suggest that the fixed-dose combination antihypertensive drug lisinopril + amlodipine improves a number of parameters characterizing cognitive functions

The article substantiates the feasibility of combination antihypertensive therapy in patients with arterial hypertension without target organ damage and high cardiovascular risk. The authors consider a clinical case of the use of amlodipine and losartan in a fixed-dose combination (Lozap AM) as part of complex therapy in a patient with arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity. The clinical case showed the ability of the drug to both achieve a steady level of target blood pressure and improve its daily profile by transferring the Night-peaker type to the Non-dipper type.
