[THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CORRECTION OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND REMODELING OF THE BRACHIAL ARTERY WITH CONCENTRIC AND ECCENTRIC LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY IN PATIENTS WITH UNSTABLE ANGINA WITH COMORBID HYPERTENSION].

Abstract

The study involved patients with unstable angina (UA), comorbid hypertension (AH), myocardial infarction in 55.5% of cases. Systolic blood pressure was (163.2 ± 1.5) mm Hg. Art., diastolic blood pressure--(101.10 ± 0.67) mm Hg. Art., pulse pressure--(61.1 ± 17.0) mm Hg. Art. Examined patients underwent clinical studies, ECG in 12 conventional leads, echocardiography in M and B modes, Doppler ultrasonography of the brachial artery. To correct the detected change using standard combined therapy: perindopril 5-10 mg/day, bisoprolol--5-10 mg/day, atorvastatin--20 mg/day, acetylsalicylic acid--75-100 mg/day. Monitoring the treatment was carried out at 3; 6 and 12 months. Standard one-year comprehensive treatment of patients with UA with comorbid AH resulted in significant improvement of effective endothelial dysfunction in concentric and eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy in 3; 6 and 12 months, however, regression of hypertrophy brachial artery advancing much less mainly in concentric left ventricular hypertrophy.
