Сравнить влияние различных способов антигипертензивной терапии (АГТ) на упругоэластичные свойства общих сонных артерий (ОСА) и грудного отдела аорты у пациентов пожилого возраста с неклапанной фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП) на основании данных ультразвукового исследования (УЗИ).</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. Обследованы 364 пациента (208 мужчин и 156 женщин) в возрасте 65–80 лет с неклапанной ФП, которых рандомизировали на четыре группы (гр.). I гр. (n=91) состояла из больных, которым назначали периндоприл в дозе 5–10 мг/сут. Во II и III гр. вошли пациенты, получавшие валсартан в дозе 80–160 мг/сут. (n=92) или валсартан в той же дозе в комбинации с розувастатином по 10 мг/cут. (n=90). В IV гр. (n=91) больные получали лерканидипин в дозе 10–20 мг/сут. С помощью УЗИ оценивались эластичные свойства грудного отдела аорты и ОСА, лодыжечно-плечевой индекс.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Применение в течение 2 лет периндоприла, валсартана, его комбинации с розувастатином и лерканидипина ассоции- ровалось с повышением индекса растяжимости ОСА и снижением коэффициента жесткости аортальной стенки и скорости распро- странения пульсовой волны по сравнению с исходным состоянием. Комбинация валсартана в дозе 80–160 мг/сут. и розувастатина в дозе 10 мг/сут. оказывала наиболее выраженное влияние на податливость сосудистой стенки по сравнению с другими вариантами лечения и снижала частоту ишемического инсульта, инфаркта миокарда и смертность.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. При выборе АГТ у геронтологических больных с неклапанной ФП валсартан в сочетании с розувастатином могут рассматриваться в качестве оптимальной стратегии, позволяющей улучшить упругоэластичные свойства артериальной стенки и снизить частоту кардиоваскулярных осложнений. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To compare the effects of various antihypertensive therapy (AHT) variants on the ultrasound-assessed elasticity of common carotid arteries (CCA) and thoracic aorta in elderly patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF).</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. In total, 364 patients (208 men and 156 women) with nonvalvular AF, aged 65–80 years, were randomised into four groups. Group I (n=91) received perindopril (5–10 mg/d); Group II (n=92) and Group III (n=90) were administered valsartan only (80–160 mg/d) or valsartan (80–160 mg/d) plus rosuvastatin (10 mg/d), respectively; and Group IV (n=91) received lercanidipine (10–20 mg/d). Vascular ultrasound methods were used to assess the thoracic aorta and CCA elasticity and ankle-brachial index.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The two-year therapy with perindopril, valsartan, valsartan plus rosuvastatin, and lercanidipine was associated with the increased CCA distensibility index, reduced aortic wall stiffness, and decreased pulse wave velocity, compared to the respective baseline levels. Out of four AHT variants, the combination of valsartan (80–160 mg/d) and rosuvastatin (10 mg/d) demonstrated the largest effect on the arterial wall elasticity and the greatest reduction in the risk of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and death.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. While choosing AHT in elderly patients with nonvalvular AF, the combination of valsartan and rosuvastatin could be regarded as the optimal therapeutic regimen, which improves arterial wall elasticity and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications. </p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>антигипертензивная терапия</kwd><kwd>жесткость артериальной стенки</kwd><kwd>фибрилляция предсердий</kwd><kwd>ишемический инсульт</kwd><kwd>пожилой возраст</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>antihypertensive therapy</kwd><kwd>arterial wall stiffness</kwd><kwd>atrial fibrillation</kwd><kwd>ischemic stroke</kwd><kwd>elderly age</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">Lukyanov MM, Boitsov SA.
