Influence of valsartan and amlodipine on the left ventricular diastolic function,endothelium function and serum insuline level in aged hyperpietic patients / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Objective: To observe the effect of valsartan and amlodipine on the reduction of blood pressure in aged hyperpietic patients,as well as on the improvement of left ventricular diastolic function,endothelium function and insuline resistence. Methods: We divided 40 cases of aged hypertension patients(1 to 2 grade) into Valsartan and Amlodipine groups at random,giving valsartan 80-160 mg or amlodipine 5-10 mg,respectively,for 12 weeks as a treating period.We measured the blood pressure twice a week,observed the differences of blood pressure and heart rate before and after the treatment,as well as the changes of insuline sensitivity,left ventricular diastolic function and endothelium vascular disatolic function. Results and Conclusion: Both valsartan and amlodipine can effectivly reduce the blood pressure of aged hypertension patients(l to 2 grade).They can also improve the diastolic function,insuline resistance and endothelium dependent vascular diastolic function.
