[Provision of complex cardioprotection with the help of carvedilol in 1-2 degree arterial hypertension combined with metabolic syndrome].

In an open prospective 16-week study we carried out assessment of clinical efficacy, vaso- and cardioprotective properties of nonselective alpha and beta-adrenoblocker carvedilol used as monotherapy and in combination with nifedipine or as combination of these drugs with metformin and simvastatin. We have shown that the use of carvedilol both as monotherapy and in combination with nifedipine normalizes arterial pressure irrespective of the number of risk factors. We also revealed pronounced cardio- and vasoprotective action without negative effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
