Поэтому была проведена оценка противовоспалительного эффекта блокатора ангиотензиновых рецепторов (БРА) 1 типа олмесартана медоксомила, в виде монотерапии и в сочетании с ингибитором ГмГ-КоА редуктазы правастатином у пациентов с эссенциальной гипертензией (ЭАГ) и сосудистым микровоспалением. Методы и результаты. Оценивалась динамика маркеров сосудистого воспаления, в т.ч. высокочувствительного С-реактивного белка (вчСРБ), а также изменения липидного профиля на фоне 12-недельной терапии олмесартаном (n=100) либо плацебо (n=99) в рамках многоцентрового, проспективного, двойного слепого исследования. На 6 нед. в обеих группах (гр.) терапии дополнительно назначался правастатин. Контроль артериального давления (АД) достигали за счет дополнительного приема гидрохлортиазида (Гхт). К 6 нед. лечения в гр. олмесартана отмечалось достоверное снижение сывороточных уровней вчСРБ (-15,1 %; р&lt;0,05), высокочувствительного фактора некроза опухолей альфа (вчФНОα) (-8,9 %; р&lt;0,02), интерлейкина-6 (ИЛ-6) (- 14,0 %; р&lt;0,05) и моноцитарного хемотаксического протеина-1 (-6,5 %; р&lt;0,01). В гр. плацебо снизилось АД, однако не регистрировалось одновременного уменьшения концентраций воспалительных маркеров. Через 12 нед. терапии наблюдалось дальнейшее снижение уровней вч СРБ (-21,1 %; р&lt;0,02), вчФНОα (-13,6 %; р&lt;0,01) и ИЛ-6 (-18,0 %; р&lt;0,01) на фоне лечения комбинацией олмесартана и правастатина. При приеме только правастатина (в гр. плацебо) достоверное изменение концентраций маркеров воспаления отсутствовало. Добавление правастатина приводило к значимому (р&lt;0,001) снижению уровня холестерина липопротеидов низкой плотности как в гр. олмесартана (-15,1 %), так и в гр. плацебо (-12,1 %). Заключение. Блокада ангиотензиновых рецепторов приводит к достоверному снижению интенсивности сосудистого микровоспаления уже на 6 нед. терапии у пациентов с ЭАГ. Благоприятные сердечно-сосудистые эффекты БРА к АТ могут быть отчасти обусловлены противовоспалительным действием этих препаратов.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Background: Experimental studies revealed pro-inflammatory properties of angiotensin II. We evaluated antiinflammatory effects of the angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor antagonist olmesartan medoxomil alone and in cotherapy with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor pravastatin, in patients with essential hypertension and microinflammation. Methods and results: We measured a panel of vascular inflammation markers, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and lipid levels during 12 weeks of therapy with olmesartan (n=100) or placebo (n=99) in a prospective double-blind multicenter study. Pravastatin was added to the double-blind therapy at week 6 in both treatment arms. Blood pressure (BP) control was achieved with addition of hydrochlorothiazide. Olmesartan treatment had already significantly reduced serum levels of hsCRP (-15,1%; p&lt;0,05), high-sensitivity tumor necrosis factor-alpha, hsTNF-alpha (-8,9%; p&lt;0,02), interleukin-6, IL-6 (-14,0%; p&lt;0,05), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1, MCP-1 (-6,5%; p&lt;0,01) after 6 weeks of therapy, whereas placebo treatment (ie, BP reduction) had no major effect on inflammation markers. After 12 weeks of therapy, hsCRP (-21,1%; p&lt;0,02), hsTNF-alpha (-13,6%; p&lt;0,01), and IL-6 (-18,0%; p&lt;0,01) decreased further with olmesartan and pravastatin co-therapy, but treatment with pravastatin alone (ie, co-therapy with placebo) did not significantly alter inflammation markers. In contrast, addition of pravastatin led to a significant (p&lt;0,001) reduction in LDL cholesterol serum concentrations in the olmesartan and placebo treatment groups (-15,1% and -12,1%, respectively). Conclusions: Angiotensin II receptor blockade significantly reduces vascular microinflammation in patients with essential hypertension by as early as week 6 of therapy. This anti-inflammatory action of angiotensin II receptor antagonists may contribute to their beneficial cardiovascular effects.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ангиотензин</kwd><kwd>атеросклероз</kwd><kwd>холестерин</kwd><kwd>гипертензия</kwd><kwd>воспаление</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>angiotensin</kwd><kwd>atherosclerosis</kwd><kwd>cholesterol</kwd><kwd>hypertension</kwd><kwd>inflammation</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">Ross R.
