Objective. To evaluate the antihypertensive and organoprotective effects of the calcium antagonist - slow release Nifedipine (Cordaflex RD) and diuretic Indapamid MR in patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Design and methods. 46 patients with ISH (66,2 ± 4,8 years) were included. Patients were divided into 2 clinical groups: 1st group (n = 26) took cordaflex RD, and 2nd group (n = 20) was given the Indapamide MR. The cardio- and angioprotective effects of the medications was evaluated. Results and conclusions. Cordaflex leads to the decrease of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), whereas Indapamide influences SBP more, than DBP. Based on echocardiography results, both medications decreased the heart wall thickness, improved systolic and diastolic left ventricular function. Cordaflex RD significantly improved the diastolic left ventricular function. Both Cordaflex RD and Indapamide favorably influenced peripheral arteries endothelial function in elderly subjects with ISH. Both medications effectively reduced the index of the true stiffness CAVI.
