PECULIARITIES OF PHARMACOTHERAPY IN ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AND COMORBID PATHOLOGY
Insights
Arterial hypertension treatment effectiveness is improved by understanding hemodynamic and metabolic changes. A combination regimen including lisinopril, bisoprolol, indapamide, and atorvastatin significantly enhanced glomerular filtration rate in patients with comorbidities.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Nephrology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Arterial hypertension (AH) pharmacotherapy is often ineffective due to comorbid conditions.
- Understanding hemodynamic and metabolic processes is crucial for effective AH management.
- Comorbidities like coronary artery disease and obesity complicate AH treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of different antihypertensive regimens on hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in patients with AH, coronary artery disease, and obesity.
- To identify treatment strategies that improve life quality and prognosis in complex AH cases.
Main Methods:
- A study involving 60 patients with AH, coronary artery disease, and obesity.
- Three treatment regimens were compared: Regimen I (lisinopril + atorvastatin + aspirin), Regimen II (lisinopril + atorvastatin + bisoprolol + aspirin), and Regimen III (lisinopril + bisoprolol + indapamide + atorvastatin + aspirin).
- Laser correlation spectrometry (LCS) was employed to assess homeostatic alterations.
Main Results:
- All regimens effectively normalized systolic blood pressure without affecting ejection fraction.
- Regimen III demonstrated a significant increase in glomerular filtration rate (92.73 ± 2.12 vs 79.62 ± 13.62 ml/min/1.73m²).
- LCS revealed elevated light scattering particles in Regimen III, suggesting anabolic process activation, with less pronounced spectral alterations in other groups.
Conclusions:
- Antihypertensive therapy induces homeostatic and metabolic alterations that can influence treatment efficacy.
- Combination therapy including lisinopril, bisoprolol, indapamide, and atorvastatin shows promise for improving renal function in complex AH.
- Further research into metabolic effects of antihypertensives is warranted for personalized treatment strategies.
Unlabelled:
In patients with arterial hypertension (AH) pharmacotherapy often remains ineffective because of comorbid pathology. Research of haemodynamic and metabolic processes in such patients allows prescribe effective antihypertensive medicines, improve life quality and prognosis.
Material And Methods:
60 patients with AH, coronary artery disease and obesity were divided into three groups: 1st group was treated with lisinopril + atorvastatin + aspirin (regimen I); 2nd group was treated with lisinopril + atorvastatin + bisoprolol + aspirin (regimen II); 3rd group was treated with lisinopril + bisoprolol + indapamide + atorvastatin + aspirin (regimen III). Laser correlation spectrometry (LCS) was used to evaluate the homeostatic alterations.
Results:
All regimens were equally effective in normalization of systolic blood pressure and did not influence the ejection fraction. Only in the 3rd group was determined significant increase of glomerular filtration rate (92.73 ± 2.12 vs 79.62 ± 13.62 ml/min/1.73m2). The LCS test showed that these patients had high level of light scattering particles IV, which may be caused by activation of anabolic processes. In other groups, spectral alterations were not so expressive.
Conclusions:
Prescription of antihypertensive therapy cause homeostatic and metabolic alterations, which may influence the efficacy of treatment.
