Captopril effectively lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients, particularly those with high renin levels. This study details its indications and side effects, showing efficacy even in difficult-to-treat cases.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Hypertension Management

Background:

  • Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used for hypertension.
  • Previous treatments for difficult-to-control hypertension were often insufficient.
  • The role of renin levels in predicting captopril response required further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of captopril in hypertensive patients.
  • To determine the correlation between baseline renin levels and blood pressure response to captopril.
  • To assess captopril's effectiveness as monotherapy in treatment-resistant hypertension.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical experience with foreign (Capoten, Lopirin) and Hungarian (Tensiomin) captopril preparations.

  • Monitoring blood pressure and pulse rate changes after initial captopril dosage.
  • Correlation analysis between pre-treatment blood renin levels and blood pressure reduction.
  • Evaluation of captopril monotherapy in patients unresponsive to non-ACE inhibitor combinations.

    • Main Results:

    • The initial dose of captopril induced a greater blood pressure decrease in patients with high baseline renin levels.
    • A linear correlation was established between pre-treatment renin levels and the magnitude of blood pressure decrease after the first captopril dose.
    • Captopril monotherapy demonstrated effective blood pressure control without significant alterations in pulse rate.
    • The drug proved effective in patients with hypertension resistant to other combined treatments.

    Conclusions:

    • Captopril's antihypertensive effect is significantly influenced by baseline renin levels.
    • Captopril is a valuable therapeutic option for managing hypertension, especially in cases resistant to conventional therapies.
    • The study provides insights into captopril's indications and side-effect profile.
