The article presents an overview of the literature on the choice of pharmacotherapy of arterial hypertension (AH). Among antihypertensive drugs occupy an important place ARBs II (BRA), a heterogeneous group of drugs whose representatives have significant intercompany differences. This article focuses on the properties and effects of olmesartan, that distinguish it from other ARBs. Along with a strong long-term antihypertensive effect of olmesartan has organoprotective (regression of LVH, nephroprotection etc.). Olmesartan clinical experience indicates a high efficiency and a good range of security among different categories of patients with hypertension.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the antihypertensive effect of camel milk hydrolysate in rats with fructose-induced hypertension. Design/methodology/approach The antihypertensive effect of fermented camel milk was determined using 6 groups comprising 36 Wistar male rats. Blood pressure of rats was altered via exposure to a 10% fructose (w/v) diet in drinking water for 3 weeks before conducting 21 days of treatment. The authors conducted the experiment for short and long term using different doses of 800 and 1,200 mg/kg body weight. Serum was used to assay total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), glucose and insulin levels using standard biochemical kits. Findings The group that received 1,200 mg hydrolysate camel milk (HM) has significantly (p = 0.003) reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure after a short exposure time (4–8 h). These effects were significantly (p = 0.005) comparable to the nifedipine (NIF) drug group. Similar long-term (21 days) effects on blood pressure were observed in 1,200 mg HM and NIF groups. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and levels were also reduced in a correlation with blood pressure reduction only in HM1200 and HM800 treated groups. The authors observed no significant effect on blood pressure in groups receiving the 800 mg HM or 1,200 mg unhydrolyzed camel milk (UM). Rats receiving the 10% fructose diet showed significant differences from control rats regarding their blood biochemistry, including TG, TC, blood glucose and insulin levels. Rats in groups NIF, HM1200 and HM800 showed a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in serum glucose, insulin, TG and TC levels toward the baseline level. Research limitations/implications Further mechanistic investigation on the HM antihypertensive activity is highly recommended before suggesting HM as a product to reduce blood pressure. While drug–food interaction between HM and antihypertensive drugs, especially ACE inhibitors, is probable, UM seems not to affect blood pressure or ACE activity and therefore is expected to have no or minimal effects on the activity of other antihypertensive drugs. Investigation of ACE expression from various organs including lungs and leukocytes is highly recommended in future works using sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blot analysis or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Originality/value No previous studies have measured the antihypertensive activity of milk hydrolysate mediated by the reduction of ACE activity and levels in plasma. Mechanisms involved in attenuating the levels of ACE warrant further investigation.


The frequency of administration of combinations of antihypertensive drugs and its changes at different stages of observation was studied in 60 patients with difficult-to-control arterial hypertension (DTCAH) (32 men and 28 women) aged 59.0 ± 9.4. All patients were randomly divided into two subgroups: biofeedback (BFB) in the loop of paced breathing (PB) and heart rate variability (HRV) (33 patients) – basic subgroup, subgroup of comparisons (27 patients). Determined that patients with DTCAH in the subgroup of patients with the BFB in the loop of PB there has been a reduction of four-component antihypertensive therapy to three-component and in the subgroup of comparisons the frequency of the appointment of a four-component therapy was increased. At the same time, it was found that the addition of drug therapy with regular BFB sessions in the loop of PB contributed to the potentiation of the antihypertensive effect in patients with DTCAH. It is concluded that the BFB in the loop of PB and HRV can be used as a technology to improve the efficiency of control of blood pressure in patients with DTCAH.

Objective. To evaluate the efficiency of radiofrequency denervation of the renal arteries in patients with resi-stant arterial hypertension during a three-year follow-up. Materials and methods. The study involved 40 patients with resistant arterial hypertension aged 27 to 70 years (mean age 54.91±9.77 years) while receiving three or more antihypertensive drugs (including diuretic) in optimal doses. The conditions for inclusion in the study were considered resistant arterial hypertension with blood pressure (BP)>160/100 mm Hg, intact kidney function - glomerular filtration rate (MDRD)>45 ml/min - and the absence of secondary hypertension. All patients had sympatic radiofrequency denervation of renal arteries; its efficiency later was estimated according to the clinical measurement and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Results. The level of office BP reliably differed initially and after 3 years: DSBP -34.48±6.44 mm Hg (p=0.001), DDBP - 22.29 mm Hg (p=0.001). According to ABPM results, reliable dynamics of systolic blood pressure was not observed. The data of DBP at night were significantly lower after 36 months; DDBP was -5.37±9.77 mm Hg. Conclusions. A marked decrease in the data of office SBP and DBP was observed, which proves the long-term efficiency of radiofrequency denervation of the renal arteries in patients with resistant hypertension. Accor-ding to ABPM results after 36 months, a significant decrease was registered among the DBP indicators at night and daytime.

The long-term effect of adrenalectomy on aldosterone-producing adenomas of the adrenal gland is controversially discussed. The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term course, with special consideration of factors of persisting hypertension after endoscopic adrenalectomy, for Conn's syndrome. Between February 1994 and March 2004, 40 patients with Conn's syndrome underwent endoscopic adrenalectomy. Data were recorded prospectively. Adrenalectomy was carried out unilaterally in all patients. Twenty-three patients (57.5%) were women; the median age was 51.7 (31.2–71.4) years. Preoperatively, all patients presented with arterial hypertension persisting over a median period of 84 (5–240) months; 76.3 per cent of the patients had previously been treated with an aldosterone antagonist, and 85 per cent with specific antihypertensives, whereas 52.6 per cent of all patients were under therapy with potassium compounds at the time of admission. After a median follow-up of 45 (7–114) months, potassium substitution was discontinued in 100 per cent of patients, and the aldosterone antagonist was discontinued in 94.7 per cent of patients. In 60.5 per cent of patients, the specific antihypertensive drugs were reduced. Patients with a reduction in antihypertensive medication had, compared with patients without a reduction, a shorter preoperative duration of arterial hypertension and a lower level of serum aldosterone, and were younger. Endoscopic adrenalectomy for Conn's syndrome leads to an immediate normalization of the electrolyte balance postoperatively, whereas hypertension resolves in 60.5 per cent of patients in the long-term course. Thus, the coexistence of essential hypertension or, respectively, a long duration of preoperative hypertension with associated renovascular alterations are of significance for the long-term result.

Aim. To assess the effect of azilsartan/chlortalidone and irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide fixed combinations on office, daily peripheral and central blood pressure (BP), daily parameters of aortic stiffness and structural and functional state of the left ventricle in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and obesity.Material and methods. The study included 46 patients with hypertension and obesity aged 35 to 55 years. In the beginning of the study and after 6 months of treatment with azilsartan/chlortalidone (AZL/C) or irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide (IRB/H) all patients underwent a comprehensive clinical and instrumental and laboratory examination, including a general examination with anthropometric measurements, office measurement of BP, electrocardiography, echocardiography, 24-hour BP monitoring with analysis of central BP and the main parameters of aortic stiffness, biochemical blood tests.Results. Long-term use of two fixed combinations of sartan and diuretic was accompanied by a significant decrease of office and daily BP. However, in the AZL/С use, this change was more pronounced than in the IRB/H. Also, in the AZL/H group, a significantly larger number of patients reach a normalization of 24-hour BP profile. Both studied drugs significantly reduced central BP, which indicates their positive effect on aortic stiffness. However, a significant change in the daily pulse wave velocity determined by the Vasotens system was not detected. During therapy, in both groups, a decrease in left ventricular myocardial mass indexed by body surface area was revealed. It was more noticeable in the AZL/H group and when height indexed2,7. In both groups, an insignificant decrease in creatinine level and an increase in glomerular filtration rate, more noticeable with the administration of AZL/H, were noted. There were no significant fluctuations in the level of uric acid and patients with AH and obesity.Conclusion. According to studies, AH in obese patients is less well controlled than in patients with normal body weight. AZL/H and IRB/H are effective and safe drugs for the treatment of AH in obese patients. However, long-term treatment of AZL/H allows reaching a more pronounced decrease in peripheral and central BP, improving the structural and functional state of the left ventricular myocardium in comparison with IRB/H.

The paper discusses the aspects of using b-adrenoblockers in the treatment of patients with arterial hypertension (AH). It discusses the reasons why United Kingdom experts have excluded b-adrenoblockers from the list of first-line antihypertensive drugs. The place of b-adrenoblockers is defined among other antihypertensive agents according to the European and Russian guidelines for the management of hypertensive patients. The authors show indications for the use of different b-adrenoblockers in patients with AH and underline the need for an individual approach to choosing a b-adrenoblocker and the expediency of administering long-acting cardioselective drugs as agents having an optimal combination of their efficacy and safety.
