[The influence of antihypertensive agents on plasmatic and vascular-thrombocytic homeostasis in metabolic syndrome].

The combined therapy with enalapril and prolonged-release verapamil, as well as with enalapril and moxonidine significantly increases the level of antiatherogenic high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, reduces the atherogenicity coefficients, decreases the concentrations of glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and soluble fibrinmonomeric complexes and the aggregation activity of thrombocytes, activates plasminogen in the blood of patients under conditions of metabolic syndrome with arterial hypertension. At the same time the enalapril monotherapy has no significant influence on the parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and the plasmatic and vascular-thrombocytic homeostasis.

[The efficiency of combinations of Enalapril and long-acting Nifedipin and Moxonidine in patients with arterial hypertension and a metabolic syndrome].

The aim of the study was to obtain a comparative evaluation of antihypertensive efficacy, tolerability and influence of combine therapy on myocardium mass, diastolic function of a left ventricle, lipid and carbohydrate exchange in patients with arterial hypertension in metabolic syndrome. Out of 40 examined cases 20 patients took enalapril and long-acting nifedipin and 20 ones--enalapril and moxonidine. All examination were been performed before administration of drugs and 6 months after the therapy.

[Propranolol treatment of effort angina in patients with arterial hypotension].

Aim: To compare antianginal efficacy and tolerability of propranolol therapy in patients with stable angina pectoris and chronic hypotension (Hpts) and normotensive patients with angina of effort (Npts).

Material And Methods: A randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study was made in 35 Hpts and 38 Npts was made using bicycle exercise tests, echocardiography, stress myocardial scintigraphy with 77-199.

Results: Acute bicycle exercise tests showed high anti-ischemic activity of propranolol in 86% Hpts and 65% Npts.

[Diltiazem and verapamil therapy in patients with angina pectoris associated with arterial hypotension].

A randomized blind cross-over study with placebo lead-in compared efficacy of calcium antagonists diltiazem and verapamil in 71 patients with stable angina concurrent with arterial hypotension (group 1) and 38 normotensive patients with ischemic heart disease (group 2). By acute bicycle exercise test evidence, verapamil was effective in 80% and 82% patients of group 1 and 2, respectively, dilitiazem--in 67 and 77%, respectively. Cumulation of the effect (p < 0.

[Nitrates in therapy of effort angina in hypotensive patients].

A randomized single blind cross-over trial with placebo lead-in has been conducted in 71 anginal patients with arterial hypotension (group 1) and 38 ischemic heart disease patients with normal arterial pressure (group 2) to compare efficacy of therapy with isosorbide dinitrate (ID), sustac-forte (SF), isosorbide dinitrate retard (IDR) and trinitrolong (TN). Paired bicycle exercises revealed that in group 1 patients ID was low effective in 49%, SF--in 61%, IDR was highly effective in 97% and TN--in 96%. In group 1 tolerance to antianginal effect of ID, SF and IDR shown by stress myocardial scintigraphy with Tl-199 developed earlier--in 2-4 weeks in 63-70% patients (versus 22-27% in group 2; p < 0.
