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.

Hypertension IV: Drug Therapy and Lifestyle Modifications

Multiple classes of antihypertensive medications are employed in treating hypertension. The most commonly recommended first-line treatments include:Thiazide Diuretics, such as chlorthalidone, increase sodium and water excretion from the body, reducing blood volume and blood pressure.Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, like lisinopril, block the conversion of angiotensin I to II, a potent vasoconstrictor lowering blood pressure.Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) prevent angiotensin II...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Calcium Channel Blockers

Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are two critical categories of drugs employed in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). PAH is a disease that causes high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, resulting in chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
TKIs, such as imatinib (Gleevec), are particularly effective in tackling the growth and mitogenic factors that become upregulated in PAH patients. These factors contribute to the...

Heart Failure Drugs: Inhibitors of Renin-Angiotensin System

The activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) contributes to cardiac remodeling, and inhibiting the RAAS is a pharmacological target in heart failure management. As a result, neurohumoral modulation is a crucial treatment principle for managing heart failure. This approach involves using medications like ACE inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), β-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), and neutral...

Hypertension II: Pathophysiology01:29

Hypertension II: Pathophysiology

Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against artery walls is excessively high, posing risks such as heart disease. The condition's underlying mechanisms involve complex interactions among the cardiovascular, kidney, and autonomic nervous systems.Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS): This system significantly influences blood pressure regulation. When blood pressure decreases, the kidneys secrete renin. This enzyme transforms angiotensinogen, a plasma protein,...
