Diabetic nephropathy is associated with cardiovascular morbidity. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors provide imperfect renoprotection in advanced type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular risk remains elevated. Endothelin (ET)-1 has a role in renal and cardiac dysfunction in diabetes. Here, we assessed whether combination therapy with an ACE inhibitor and ETA receptor antagonist provided reno- and cardioprotection in rats with overt type 2 diabetes. Four groups of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were treated orally from 4 (when proteinuric) to 8 mo with vehicle, ramipril (1 mg/kg), sitaxsentan (60 mg/kg), and ramipril plus sitaxsentan. Lean rats served as controls. Combined therapy ameliorated proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis mostly as a result of the action of ramipril. Simultaneous blockade of ANG II and ET-1 pathways normalized renal monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and interstitial inflammation. Cardiomyocyte loss, volume enlargement, and capillary rarefaction were prominent abnormalities of ZDF myocardium. Myocyte volume was reduced by ramipril and sitaxsentan, which also ameliorated heart capillary density. Drug combination restored myocardial structure and reestablished an adequate capillary network in the presence of increased cardiac expression of VEGF/VEGFR-1, and significant reduction of oxidative stress. In conclusion, in type 2 diabetes concomitant blockade of ANG II synthesis and ET-1 biological activity through an ETA receptor antagonist led to substantial albeit not complete renoprotection, almost due to the ACE inhibitor. The drug combination also showed cardioprotective properties, which however, were mainly dependent on the contribution of the ETA receptor antagonist through the action of VEGF.

Aim. To assess effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of combined antihypertensive therapy (AHT) with an ACE inhibitor (perindopril) and thiazide-like diuretic (indapamide) in postmenopausal women with arterial hypertension (AH). Material and methods. This open, one-centre study included 43 postmenopausal women with AH. For 3 months, the patients in the main group (MG; n=22) received indapamide MR (modified release) (1,5 mg/d) and perindopril. The comparison group (CG; n=21) was administered non-MR indapamide (2,5 mg/d) and perindopril. The dynamics of office blood pressure (BP) levels, 24-hour BP monitoring parameters, laboratory parameters, quality of life (QoL), as well as therapy safety and tolerability, was assessed. Results. In both groups, the treatment was clinically effective, safe, and QoL-improving. Target BP levels were achieved in the majority of the patients: 85,3 % and 72,4 % in the MG and CG, respectively. The combination therapy including indapamide MR provided greater improvement of circadian BP rhythm, larger reduction in both morning BP surge and increased BP variability, as well as target BP achievement in higher proportion of the patients. Conclusion. In postmenopausal women with AH, combined therapy with perindopril and indapamide MR provided more benefits, compared to the treatment with perindopril and non-MR indapamide.

The article discusses some of the changes in the 2013 European Guidelines in comparison with the previous revision with an emphasis on practical activities of cardiologists and therapists as well as the combined therapy of high blood pressure. Also, special attention is paid to one of the preferred combinations of antihypertensives – a combination of ACE inhibitor and calcium antagonist and, in particular perindopril and amlodipine.

Objective: chronic sleep disturbance is a comorbid condition with arterial hypertension, often combined with affective disorders, anxiety, depression. Forced sleep deprivation in patients with hypertension indicates a high activity of the renin‑angiotensin‑aldosterone system (RAAS) and desynchronosis of biological rhythms caused by a probable deficit in melatonin secretion during the night. Timely elimination of any pathological process associated with insomnia and arterial hypertension (AH) in the early stages of its development is a prerequisite for the effectiveness of therapy. Therefore, initial therapy should help neutralize the adverse effects of RAAS and improve the 24‑hour blood pressure (BP) profile. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect of monotherapy with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, As well as in combination with a synthetic analogue of melatonin, on the course of hypertension and parameters of systemic hemodynamics in patients with first degree hypertension with insomnia at the onset of the disease. Combined therapy with an ACE inhibitor and a synthetic analogue of MT in patients with hypertension and insomnia was accompanied by an improvement in the clinical state, achievement of the target blood pressure level in most patients, positive dynamics of central blood pressure parameters and indicators reflecting the rigidity of peripheral arteries.

In the present study, we evaluated the effect of simultaneously blocking angiotensin II synthesis and endothelin (ET)-1 activity as a multimodal intervention to implement renoprotection in overt diabetic nephropathy. Mechanisms underlying combined therapy effectiveness were addressed by investigating podocyte structure and function and glomerular barrier size-selective properties. Uninephrectomized rats made diabetic by streptozotocin received orally placebo, lisinopril (12.5 mg/l), the ETA receptor antagonist avosentan (30 mg/kg), or their combination from 4 (when animals had proteinuria) to 8 mo. Proteinuria, renal damage, podocyte number, nephrin expression, and glomerular size selectivity by graded-size Ficoll molecule fractional clearance were assessed. Combined therapy normalized proteinuria, provided complete protection from tubulointerstitial damage, and induced regression of glomerular lesions, while only a partial renoprotection was achieved by each drug alone. Lisinopril plus avosentan restored to normal values the number of podocytes. Single therapies only limited podocyte depletion. Defective nephrin expression of diabetes was prevented by each drug. Altered glomerular size selectivity to large macromolecules of diabetic rats was remarkably improved by lisinopril and the combined treatment. Avosentan ameliorated peritubular capillary architecture and reduced interstitial inflammation and fibrosis. The ACE inhibitor and ETA receptor antagonist induced regression of glomerular lesions in overt diabetic nephropathy. Regression of renal disease was conceivably the result of the synergistic effect of the ACE inhibitor of preserving glomerular permselective properties and the ETA antagonist in improving tubulointerstitial changes. These findings provide mechanistic insights to explain the antiproteinuric effect of this combined therapy in diabetes.
