PERSONIFICATION OF ANTIHYPERTENSIVE THERAPY IN ISCHEMIC CEREBRAL STROKE
Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to optimize monitoring and personalize antihypertensive therapy in patients with severe ischemic cerebral stroke (ICS). We examined 37 patients with ICS, average age 74,1±1,3 years, who received treatment in intensive care wards of the stroke department with general neurology beds of the Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise "City Hospital № 9" of the Zaporizhzhia City Council. There were 16 men (43,2%), average age 71,9±2,1 years; women - 21 (56,8%), average age 75,8±1.6 years. Personification of antihypertensive therapy for severe ICS was carried out based on the etiology of hypertensive hemodynamic disorders: hyperkinetic type of arterial hypertension (Cardiac index ≥ 3,80 L×min-1×m-2) or hypokinetic type of arterial hypertension (Cardiac index ≤ 2,98 L×min-1×m-2). In patients with severe ICS and hyperkinetic type of arterial hypertension, initial hemodynamic parameters were characterized by Mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 111,4 ± 1,4 mm Hg; Heart rate (HR) of 107,2±1,6 min; Cardiac index (CI) 6,74±0,27 L×min-1×m-2; the Total peripheral vascular resistance (TPVR) is 674±36 dyn×sec-1×cm-5. For the purpose of antihypertensive correction of the hyperkinetic type of arterial hypertension (CI ≥ 3,80 L×min-1×m-2), a solution of Magnesium Sulfate was used intravenously at a dose of 2500-5000 mg×day-1 in combination with Bisoprolol 5-10 mg×day-1 orally. This made it possible to stabilize hemodynamic parameters by the end of intensive therapy within the limits of eukinetic values: MAP 95,2±1,5 mm Hg (p<0,05); HR 81,9±1,5 min (p<0,05); CI 3,60±0,15 L×min-1×m-2 (p<0,05); TPVR is 1079±58 dyn×sec-1×cm-5 (p<0,05). In patients with severe ICS and hypokinetic type of arterial hypertension, initial hemodynamic parameters were characterized by MAP of 117,7±2,8 mm Hg; HR of 76,7±1,5 min; CI 2,74±0,18 L×min-1×m-2; TPVR is 1754±123 dyn×sec-1×cm-5. For the purpose of antihypertensive correction of the hypokinetic type of arterial hypertension (CI≤2,98 L×min-1×m-2), a solution of Ebrantil was used intravenously as a bolus of 1,25-2,5 mg with a further infusion of 5-40 mg×hour-1. This made it possible to stabilize hemodynamic parameters by the end of intensive therapy within the limits of eukinetic values: MAP 92,7 ± 1,7 mm Hg (p<0,05); HR 81,4 ± 0,9 min (p<0,05); CI 3,65±0,16 L×min-1×m-2 (p<0,05); TPVR is 1036±46 dyn×sec-1×cm-5 (p<0,05).

Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production.
