В исследовании CORD оценивались эффективность и переносимость лозартана и рамиприла у пациентов с артериальной гипертонией (АГ).</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В исследовании участвовали две группы: В группе A больных переводили с лечения ингибиторами ангиотензин-превращающего фермента (ИАПФ) на лозартан; участвовали 4016 больных с АД &lt; 160/100 мм рт.ст., принимавших различные ИАПФ в течение &gt; 3 мес.; средний возраст пациентов — 62,6+11,6 лет; 53,1% этой выборки составляли женщины. АД, частота сердечных сокращений, биохи­мические показатели, общий анализ крови и ЭКГ контролировались в первый день и затем через 1, 3, 6 и 12 мес. В группе B сравнивались эффективность и переносимость лозартана и рамиприла. В эту группу вошли 3813 больных с АД &gt; 140/90 мм рт.ст., ранее не принимавших блокаторы рецепторов ангиотензина (БРА) или ИАПФ; средний возраст пациентов — 60,5+12,2 лет; 50,5% из них были женщины. Пациенты случайным образом разделены на группы лечения лозартаном 50 мг/сут. (n=1887) или рамиприлом 5 мг/ сут. (n=1926).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Через 1 мес. лечения в группе А понизилось АД со 147,4+14,8/87,7+9,3 мм рт.ст. до 139,7+11,8/83,0+9,3 мм рт.ст. (p&lt;0,001), а через 1 год — до 133,7+11,3/79,1+7,06 мм рт.ст. (p&lt;0,001). Частота развития побочных эффектов не увеличилась. Через 1 год в группе В, подгруппе лозартана АД снизилось со 156,5+13,1/93,4+8,8 до 134,55+11,3/80,16+6,6 мм рт.ст. (p&lt;0,001), а в подгруппе рами­прила — со 155,9+13,1/93,0+8,9 мм рт.ст. до 134,1+11,2/81,5+6,8 мм рт.ст. (p&lt;0,001). Серьезных побочных эффектов не наблюдалось, но в подгруппе рамиприла сухой кашель появился в 8 раз чаще.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Переход с терапии ИАПФ на лозартан безопасен и эффективен. Лозартан и рамиприл обладают равной антигипертензивной эффективностью и тенденцией к улучшению метаболических показателей; терапия лозартаном переносилась значительно лучше по сравнению с рамиприлом.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. The CORD Study compared effectiveness and tolerability of losartan and ramipril in patients with arterial hypertension (AH).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The study included two groups, A and B. In Group A (n=4016; mean age 62,6+11,6 years; 53,1% women), the patients with blood pressure (BP) &lt;160/100 mm Hg and ACE inhibitor therapy lasting for &gt;3 months were switched from ACE inhibitors to losartan. At baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months later, BP, heart rate, and biochemical parameters were measured; general blood assay and electrocardiography (ECG) were also performed. In group B (n=3813; mean age 60,5+12,2 years; 50,5% women), the patients with BP &gt;140/90 mm Hg and no previous ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy were randomly administered either losartan (50 mg/d; n=1887) or ramipril (5 mg/d; n=1926).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Group A demonstrated a decrease in BP — from 147,4+14,8/87,7+9,3 to 139,7+11,8/83,0+9,3 mm Hg (p&lt;0,001) after one month of the treatment, and to 133,7+11,3/79,1+7,06 mm Hg (p&lt;0,001) after one year. Adverse effect prevalence did not increase. After one year, Group B demonstrated a reduction in BP levels — in losartan subgroup, from 156,5+13,1/93,4+8,8 to 134,55+11,3/80,16+6,6 mm Hg (p&lt;0,001), and in ramipril subgroup — from 155,9+13,1/93,0+8,9 to 134,1+11,2/81,5+6,8 mm Hg (p&lt;0,001). No severe adverse effects were registered, but in ramipril subgroup, cough was 8 times more prevalent.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. ACE inhibitor substitution with losartan was safe and effective. Losartan and ramipril demonstrated equal antihypertensive effectiveness and a tendency to improve metabolic parameters. Losartan therapy was better tolerated than ramipril.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>артериальная гипертензия</kwd><kwd>изолированная систолическая гипертензия</kwd><kwd>рамиприл</kwd><kwd>лозартан</kwd><kwd>метаболические параметры</kwd><kwd>кашель</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>arterial hypertension</kwd><kwd>isolated systolic hypertension</kwd><kwd>ramipril</kwd><kwd>losartan</kwd><kwd>metabolic parameters</kwd><kwd>cough</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Task Force Members 2007.
