Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of losartan potassium (LP) and benazepril in the treatment of hypertensive patients with insulin resistance (IR).
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 155 hypertensive patients with IR admitted to Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Hospital from March 2021 to March 2023. Of these 76 received LP treatment (LP group), and 79 received benazepril treatment (benazepril group). Blood pressure levels, blood glucose and insulin levels, treatment efficacy, and incidence of adverse reactions before and after the treatment in both groups were compared.
Results: After the treatment, diastolic and systolic blood pressure in the two groups significantly decreased compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.05), with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After the treatment, levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hours plasma glucose (2hPG), fasting insulin (FINS), 2-hours insulin (2hINS), and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) in both groups significantly decreased compared to pre-treatment levels (P<0.05), with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the total efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusions: The efficacy of LP and benazepril in treating hypertension with IR is equivalent. Both are safe and can effectively lower blood sugar and insulin levels, alleviate IR, and lower blood pressure.
期刊介绍:
It is a peer reviewed medical journal published regularly since 1984. It was previously known as quarterly "SPECIALIST" till December 31st 1999. It publishes original research articles, review articles, current practices, short communications & case reports. It attracts manuscripts not only from within Pakistan but also from over fifty countries from abroad.
Copies of PJMS are sent to all the import medical libraries all over Pakistan and overseas particularly in South East Asia and Asia Pacific besides WHO EMRO Region countries. Eminent members of the medical profession at home and abroad regularly contribute their write-ups, manuscripts in our publications. We pursue an independent editorial policy, which allows an opportunity to the healthcare professionals to express their views without any fear or favour. That is why many opinion makers among the medical and pharmaceutical profession use this publication to communicate their viewpoint.
