ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED We evaluated effects of perindopril (Prestarium-SERVIER) in the treatment of the primary hypertension in 41 patients (mean age 41.6) in the I or II degrees WHO using 24 ambulatory blood pressure measurement and echocardiography. Investigation were performed before and after 3 and 6 months of the treatment. Initially 4 mg of perindopril was given and individually was increased after 3 months to 8 mg according to 24 ambulatory blood pressure measurement results. We obtained significant decrease of blood pressure in 3 (134.6/86.6 mm Hg) and in 6 (135/88, 9 mm Hg) months of treatment in comparison to baseline values (141.8/91.1 mm Hg), decrease of left ventricular mass to 244.4 g in 3 and 248.8 g after 6 months (baseline 258.5 g), as well as index of left ventricular mass, wall thickness and left ventricular end diastolic volume. There was no significant differences in ejection, heart rate, left ventricular inflow on the successive investigations. Good effect of perindopril we observed in 31 patients (75.6%) after 6 months of treatment. We did not observe any serious side effects of perindopril. CONCLUSION:
Perindopril in treatment hypertension effectively reduces the level of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean) without any effect on heart rate. Prestarium reduces left ventricular mass, intraseptal wall thickness and left ventricular end diastolic volume. There is no influence on inflow to the left ventricle as well as on ejection fraction.
