[Gender-related differences in the efficacy of treatment of hypertensive and coronary heart diseases in aged and elderly patients by angiotensin II receptor blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors].

The aim of the work was to study hemodynamics and clinical symptoms before and after treatment of arterial hypertension (AH) and coronary heart disease (CHD) using angiotensin II receptor blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors depending on the patients' sex. A total of 150 patients with AH and CHD were examined (80 women and 70 men, mean age 70 a 66 yr respectively). Eighty two of them (group 1) were given receptor blockers (losap, losartan, lorista, bloctran) and 63 (group 2) inhibitors (prestarium, noliprel).
