Abstract

To evaluate the impact of a 12-week combined antihypertensive therapy with enalapril + indapamide on endothelial dysfunction in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2.30 patients with AH stage II-III and DM type 2 age from 40 to 65 years were included into research. The combined antihypertensive therapy with enalapril 28.6 ± 1.9 + indapamide 2.5 ± 0 mg/day was assigned for 12 weeks. We studied endothelial function by determining the concentration of NO metabolites and endothelin-1 in serum and urine, the results of occlusion test.After 12-week therapy, 100% of the patients achieved BP goals. There was no impairment of carbohydrate metabolism. Endothelial function was improved in hypertensive patients with T2DM: there were increases in both serum and urinary NO production (by 381 and 48.2%, respectively) and decreases in urinary endothelin-1 secretion (by 56.3%). The number of patients with normal microcirculation increased from 13.3 to 53.3% (p < 0.001) by reducing the number of patients with abnormal (hyperemic and stagnant-stasic) types of microcirculation.Twelve-week treatment with the combined antihypertensive medication. The combined antihypertensive therapy with enalapril + indapamide is highly effective and safe for recovering endothelial function in hypertensive patients with T2DM.
