Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide and in Russia. Therefore, the question of safe and rational drug therapy is acute. But, like most drugs, drugs for the treatment of CVD have a number of adverse reactions, in particular, the development of acute pancreatitis. This adverse reactions can be both dose-dependent and depend on the duration of administration of these groups of drugs. The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature data on drugs intended for the treatment of СVD that can lead to the development of drug-induced pancreatitis (LIP), on the mechanisms of development of this pathology against the background of taking specific drugs, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The development of LIP is associated with the use of diuretics, both loop (furosemide, etacric acid, bumetamide), and thiazide/thiazide-like (chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone), antihypertensive drugs of central action (methyldopa), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, statins, antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, procainamide). Literature data on the development of LIP are presented in most publications with the description of clinical case/series of cases, however, in the case of LIP associated with the use of ACEI and statins, there are also data from cohort, retrospective observational, prospective case-control, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses. With timely diagnosis, and the cancellation of drugs that have caused the development of OP, the symptoms of the disease regress until they completely disappear and develop serious consequences.

Background: Antihypertensive drugs might play a key role in the risk and poor prognosis of colorectal cancer. However, current epidemiologic evidence remains inconsistent. The aim of this study is to quantify the association between antihypertensive drugs and colorectal cancer.Methods: To identify available studies, we systematically searched electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library. The risk estimates and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were collected and analyzed by using random-effects models. Heterogeneity test and sensitivity analysis were also performed.Results: Overall, 37 observational studies were included in this analysis (26 studies with cohort design, three studies with nested case-control design, and 8 studies with case-control design). Antihypertensive drugs did not present a significant effect on the risk or overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer [Risk ratio (RR) = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.95–1.04; Hazard ratio (HR) = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.84–1.02]. In the subgroup analysis, diuretics use was significantly associated with a worse overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer (HR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.14–1.40). However, use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers was associated with improved progression-free survival of patients who suffered from colorectal cancer (HR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72–0.95).Conclusion: Antihypertensive drug usage did not influence the risk and overall survival of patients with colorectal cancer in general. Further investigation reminded us that diuretics use might reduce the overall survival time in colorectal cancer patients, whereas those who took Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers had a longer progression-free survival.

Abstract Antihypertensive drugs namely angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, and diuretics are among the most clearly documented regimens worldwide with an overall cardioprotective benefit. Given that malignancy is the second leading cause of mortality, numerous observational studies aimed to investigate the carcinogenic potential of these agents with conflicting results. The purpose of this review was to summarize current data in an effort to explore rare side effects and new mechanisms linking antihypertensive drugs with the risk of developing cancer.

It is unclear to which extent the higher mortality associated with hypertension in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is due to its increased prevalence among older patients or to specific mechanisms. Cross-sectional, observational, retrospective multicenter study, analyzing 12226 patients who required hospital admission in 150 Spanish centers included in the nationwide SEMI-COVID-19 Network. We compared the clinical characteristics of survivors versus non-survivors. The mean age of the study population was 67.5 ± 16.1 years, 42.6% were women. Overall, 2630 (21.5%) subjects died. The most common comorbidity was hypertension (50.9%) followed by diabetes (19.1%), and atrial fibrillation (11.2%). Multivariate analysis showed that after adjusting for gender (males, OR: 1.5, p = 0.0001), age tertiles (second and third tertiles, OR: 2.0 and 4.7, p = 0.0001), and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (second and third tertiles, OR: 4.7 and 8.1, p = 0.0001), hypertension was significantly predictive of all-cause mortality when this comorbidity was treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) (OR: 1.6, p = 0.002) or other than renin-angiotensin-aldosterone blockers (OR: 1.3, p = 0.001) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) (OR: 1.2, p = 0.035). The preexisting condition of hypertension had an independent prognostic value for all-cause mortality in patients with COVID-19 who required hospitalization. ARBs showed a lower risk of lethality in hypertensive patients than other antihypertensive drugs.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem with an increasing incidence and prevalence. Outcomes of CKD include not only complications of decreased kidney function and cardiovascular disease but also kidney failure causing increased morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, CKD is often undetected and undertreated because of its insidious onset, variable progression, and length of time to overt kidney failure. Diabetes is now the leading cause of CKD requiring renal replacement therapy in many parts of the world, and its prevalence is increasing disproportionately in the developing countries. This review article outlines the current recommendations from various clinical guidelines and research studies for treatment, prevention and delaying the progression of both CKD and its common complications such as hypertension, anemia, renal osteodystrophy, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance, and hyperlipidemia. Recommendations for nutrition in CKD and measures adopted for early diabetic kidney disease to prevent further progression have also been reviewed. There is strong evidence that early detection and management of CKD can prevent or reduce disease progression, decrease complications and improve outcomes. Evidence supports that achieving optimal glucose control, blood pressure, reduction in albuminuria with a multifactorial intervention slows the progression of CKD. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-II receptor antagonists are most effective because of their unique ability to decrease proteinuria, a factor important for the progression of CKD.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is one of the lead causes of death. Hypertension can cause various complications with another disease, even the cause of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disorders. Hypertension is the second rank of the most diseases in Kabupaten Katingan. The purpose of this research is to know the profile of antihypertensive medicines in RSUD Mas Amsyar Kasongan. Method of this research was a descriptive method with saturation sampling used retrospective data on all prescription drugs in 2017. The results of this research based on the patient characteristic were found 43.3% men and 56.7% women, meanwhile 45.8% age < 45 years old and 54.2% for age > 45 years old. The antihypertensive drug items used are propranolol, telmisartan, amlodipine, lisinopril, furosemide, ramipril, valsartan, candesartan, irbesartan, and bisoprolol, meanwhile based on the classification of antihypertensive drugs. are angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI), Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) and alpha 2 adrenergic agonists. Based on the result, it can be concluded that hypertension patient in RSUD Mas Amsyar Kasongan is mostly female (56.7%) and age of hypertension patient is > 45 years old (54.2%). The most antihypertensive prescribed is monotherapy (72%) and the most item of the drug is amlodipine. (38%).
