Whether all ACE inhibitors enzyme are identical? Focus on zofenopril.
Abstract
The results of randomized clinical trials were analyzed. The therapy with an ACE inhibitor zofenopril in patients with cardiovascular disease
resulted to reduction of cardiovascular complications and mortality risk. Zofenopril was safe and well-tolerated patients. Ongoing
zofenopril trials are also reviewed.

Efficacy of the fixed combination β-blocker and calcium antagonist Logimax at women with an essential hypertensionin different age groups
Abstract
The functional condition of endothelium is investigated at 36 patients with arterial hypertension II-III of a stage (aged 44-80 years) during 3
monthly treatments by fixed combination metoprolol succinate + felodipine (Logimax). Blood pressure (BP) was monitored for 24 hours.
Endothelial vasodilatation function and thickness of a complex intimae - media were evaluated with ultrasonic duplex scanning of arteries. It has
been revealed reduced endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and structural remodeling of peripheral arteries in elderly hypertensives. Alongside
with high antihypertensive activity, indapamid retard positively influenced on structural and functional characteristics of humeral arteries.

Efficacy of amlodipin in treatment of arterial hypertension.
Abstract
The article summarizes the available data on amlodipin in hypertensive patients of high cardiovascular risk. The results of studies
demonstrate strong and long-lasting antihypertensive effect of ramipril. Moreover, amlodipin treatment decreases cardiovascular events
rate, damage of target organs and atherosclerosis progression. Amlodipin shows both high efficacy and good safety. All this properties
make amlodipin extremely attractive for the everyday practice.

Mesto agonistov imidazolinovykh retseptorov v lechenii arterial'noy gipertenzii: rezul'taty issledovaniya MERSY v Rossii
Abstract
Цель: продемонстрировать долгосрочную безопасность и эффективность Моксонидина, назначаемого с целью снижения артери-
ального давления (АД) пациентам с артериальной гипертензией (АГ) и метаболическим синдромом (МС). Материалы и методы: в ис-
следование включено 274 пациента с АГ и МС (26% мужчин и 74% женщин). Результаты: на терапии моксонидином у всех больных
клиническое АД снизилось на 29/1514/10 мм рт.ст. (р<0,001). По данным клинического АД целевой уровень на терапии моксониди-
ном достигнут у 49% больных. В биохимическом анализе крови общий холестерин уменьшился на 1,1 ммоль/л, глюкоза на 1,1
ммоль/л. Заключение: Моксонидин оказывал антигипертензивным эффект, улучшал состояние углеводного и липидного обмена.

The combination therapy: when efficiency and safety go an arm about arm
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate efficacy and tolerance of a compound drug Co-renitec combining an ACE inhibitor enalapril maleate and diuretic
hydrochlorothiazide. Co-renitec taken for 16 weeks in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Material and methods: 28 patients
with EH (16 males and 12 females aged 47-74 years) of mean duration 132 years. Blood pressure (BP) was monitored for 24 hours
with the device SL 90207 (SpaceLabs Medical, USA). Microalbuminuria (MAU) was estimated with the use of immunoturbodimetric
test. Results: By 24-hour monitoring, Co-renitec reduced day BP by 15/9 - 3/2 mm Hg, nocturnal BP lowered by 19/12 - 3/2 mmHg,
pulse pressure also fell. Coefficient T/P was 53% for systolic BP (SBP) and 60% for diastolic BP (DBP). The target BP was reached in
70% patients. Co-renitec significantly decreased MAU, albumines excretion normalized in 46% patients. Conclusion: Co-renitec lowers
both day and nocturnal blood pressure, improves 24-h rhythm of BP, has a positive effect on the kidneys. This allows its recommendation
as a first-line drug in patients with moderate and severe EH.

Angiotensin receptor blockers in nephroprotection at patients with diabetes mellitus: focus on losartan
Abstract
Many large studies have provided strong evidence that there is an association of elevated BP with a risk for cardiovascular events (CVE),
such as stroke, myocardial infarction and heart failure. But none of the studies has indicated that a drug is more effective than another one
in reducing the risk for CVE and death. The article summarizes the available data on ramipril in hypertensive patients of high cardiovascular
risk. The results of studies demonstrate strong and long-lasting antihypertensive effect of losartan. Moreover, losartan treatment
decreases cardiovascular events rate, damage of target organs, atherosclerosis progression and new cases of diabetes mellitus. Losartan
shows both high efficacy and low adverse event rate.

Dynamics of blood pressure, heart rate variability and QTc in patients with metabolic syndrome on the selective betablockerand biguanide therapy.
Abstract
Aim: this study the changes of blood pressure (BP), heart rate variability (HRV) characteristics, average weighed rhythmogram variation
(AWRV) and QTc in patients with metabolic syndrome (MC) and arterial hypertension (AH) before and after therapy of betablocker,
metformin and their combination.
Materials: 51 patients with МС and AH were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomization on 3 groups:
the monotherapy of nebivolol (N) 5 mg/days (n=18), the monotherapy of metformin (M) 1700 mg/days (n=15) and nebivolol+metformin
combination therapy (N+M) (n=18). The estimated variables included of BP, HRV, AWRV and QTc before and after 24 weeks of
the treatment.
Results: after 24 weeks of the N treatment QTc interval change from 44823 ms to 43317ms (p<0.05), AWRV change from 784198
ms to 9355315 (p>0.05). Treatment of M changes AWRV from 872234 ms to 761195 (p>0.05), QTc from
44825 ms to 43427 ms (p<0.05). Treatment of the combination N+M therapy did not significant dynamics of AWRV
and QTc.
Conclusion: The conclusion: the nebivolol monotherapy increased HRV. Metformin monotherapy and combination N+M therapy
does not significant change HRV. The monotherapy of N or M leads to reduction of interval QTc.

Contraindications and adverse events of drugs in cardioneurological patients.
Abstract
In our days big attention is drawn to safe drug therapy. It importance is associated with great prevalence of medical products side
effects and consequences, high economic expenses for their correction. Knowing specific features of adverse drug reactions in different
groups of patients it could be possible to decrease their prevalence and magnitude.
