The article deals with the choice of diuretic in arterial hypertension and presents data on the antihypertensive efficacy of the loop diuretic torasemide. Data on the mechanisms of antihypertensive action of torasemide are presented, including a unique antialdosterone effect. The article reports on the absence of a negative effect of the drug on carbohydrate, lipid, purine metabolism and electrolyte balance, positive effect on the target organs, very good tolerability. It is advisable to use torasemide more widely in a "non-diuretic" dose (2.5-5 mg / day) for the treatment of arterial hypertension as in monotherapy as in combination with other antihypertensive drugs.

Episodes of rapid increase in blood pressure due to uncontrolled arterial hypertension, previously known as a hypertensive urgency, is common clinical condition which many of practicing physicians are encountered daily. As a rule, these conditions are not life-threatening, however they could lead to target-organs damage if not promptly relieved. Therefore, clear evidence-based recommendations of optimal antihypertensive drug administration in these situations would provide more safe and effective therapy. Despite that, definite expert consensus regarding optimal choice of antihypertensive drugs to manage these patients have not been reached so far. The aim of the current review was to assess the results obtained from clinical trials regarding the safety and efficacy of moxonidine for urgent hypertensive therapy in patients with uncontrolled arterial hypertension admitted to emergency healthcare units as well as in those at the prehospital stage. Performed literature-based analysis revealed enough evidences proving that moxonidine can be administered in a single dose of 0.4 mg as a drug of choice in situations where prompt and stable hypotensive effect is desired. Results of comparative studies designed to closely match real clinical settings indicate that more adequate and sustainable therapeutic effect is achieved after moxonidine administration in comparison to other frequently used antihypertensive drugs.

Arterial hypertension (AH) remains one of the most urgent global health challenges. However, it added up to an equally dangerous challenge – COVID-19 in 2020. That is why the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) released the updated guidelines comprising the methods and drugs that had proven themselves to be the best in the recent randomized controlled trials. In some respects, they differ from the previously issued American and European guidelines, for example, in the very definition for hypertension, which blood pressure threshold should be considered high. However, all three documents are synchronous in terms of drug therapy: it is necessary to start administering antihypertensive drugs as early as possible and immediately use the most effective ones – inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) combined with other drugs that are chosen individually depending on the features of the course of hypertension in each individual patient. In addition, it has been found that RAS inhibitors have a positive effect on the course of COVID-19 in patients with hypertension, which only increased the relevance of the global consensus on hypertension therapy.

The article discusses the problem of using ACE inhibitors and diuretics in arterial hypertension. Analysis of the position of doctors when prescribing ACE inhibitors and diuretics showed its compliance with current national guidelines for the treatment of hypertension. Physicians use more adequate criteria for antihypertensive drugs usage. There were no non-rational use of diuretics in combination, regardless of indications and contraindications. If there are indications for the use of a diuretic and a preparation of ACE inhibitors, you have to make greater use of fixed combinations of drugs. The article discusses the results of clinical efficacy studies of perindopril and indapamide in clinical practice. Noliprel® forte is an effective antihypertensive medication, not only reducing BP, but also organoprotective aim and good tolerability in wide range of patients with arterial hypertension.

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 study the antihypertensive efficacy of a fixed full-dose perindopril arginine-indapamide combination in patients with grades 2–3 arterial hypertension (AH) who do not receive antihypertensive therapy or those who do not achieve blood pressure (BP) control with other antihypertensive drugs. Subjects and methods. The trial enrolled 30 patients: 20 (66,6%) males and 10 (33,3%) females aged 30 to 60 years (mean age 50,5±7,1 years). Grades 2 and 3 AH was recorded in 28 (93,3%) and 2 (6,6%) patients, respectively. According to office measurements, the baseline BP (systolic BP (SBP)/diastolic BP (DBP) averaged 169±13,3/100,3±6,9 mm Hg in the group. Before included into the trial, 25 (83,4%) patients had taken antihypertensive agents, of them 10 (40%) and 2 (5%) examinees had combination therapy and fixed-dose combinations, respectively. Results. During therapy with a fixed-dosed combination of perindopril arginine 10 mg and indapamide 2,5 mg, there was generally a trend for SBP and DPB to lower at week 2 of therapy and there was a significant reduction in SBP by 42,4±11,2 mm Hg and in DBP by 20,1±9,3 mm Hg by the end of month 3. The goal BP (lower than 140/90 mm Hg) was achieved in 96,6% of the patients. Conclusion. The fixed full-dose perindopril arginine-indapamide combination allows therapeutic efficiency to be enhanced in grades 2–3 AH patients having no target BP values.

The article discusses results of secondary analysis of the data obtained in the SPRINT study and published in recent years. Unresolved issues in the tactics of managing patients with arterial hypertension are discussed. One of such issues is choosing an optimum level of blood pressure (BP) for a subgroup of patients with certain characteristics, including elderly and senile patients, patients with chronic kidney disease, and patients with arterial hypertension who continue smoking. The article discusses calculation of a threshold of risk for complications of cardiovascular diseases, at which a maximum advantage of intensified regimens of antihypertensive therapy could be achieved. In addition, the article addresses approaches to selection of antihypertensive drugs in the current conditions. The authors discussed the role of candesartan in the treatment of arterial hypertension, a sartan most studied in a broad range of patients. The issue of a rapid increase in BP without a damage to target organs is addressed; evidence for the role of captopril in such clinical situation is provided.

This research is new in its attempt to take future time orientation, morningness orientation, and prospective memory as measures of mental prospection, and to examine a three-factor model that assumes working memory, mental prospection, and cognitive insight are independent but related higher-order cognitive constructs by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The three-factor model produced a good fit to the data. An alternative one-factor model was tested and rejected. The results suggest that working memory and cognitive insight are distinguishable, related constructs, and that both are distinct from, but negatively associated with, mental prospection. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that working memory had a strong positive effect on cognitive insight and a moderate negative effect on mental prospection.

Arterial hypertension (AH) remains one of the most significant medical and social problems in the world, its prevalence among the adult population is 30–45%. Along with this, the modern population is characterized by a high incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including due to their secondary damage in the framework of hypertension. In turn, CKD is an important independent risk factor for the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, including fatal ones. The use of existing approaches to nephroprotection in the treatment of patients with hypertension will significantly improve the prognosis both in patients with risk factors for developing renal dysfunction and in patients with pre-existing kidney disease. According to current recommendations for hypertension in such clinical situations, therapy should begin with fixed combinations of antihypertensive drugs. The combination of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE) and a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCВ) demonstrated the greatest effectiveness according to evidence-based medicine in patients with high-risk hypertension, including from the standpoint of nephroprotection. In the presented clinical case, the successful use of a fixed combination of ACE and CCВ in a patient with hypertension and microalbuminuria is described.
