Abstract
Aim. To evaluate efficacy of the fixed combination of perindopril arginine and amlodipine (original drug PRESTANCE, JSC “Servier”, France) in achievement of blood pressure (BP) control in patients noncontrolled with other antihypertensive medications.
Material and methods. In the study, in real world setting, 250 arterial hypertension (AH) outpatients were included. The levels of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure were assessed and “vascular age”, at baseline, in 1 and 3 months (visit 2) of treatment with PRESTANCE.
Results. In transition of patients to PRESTANCE there was decrease of SBP from 166,6±8,9 to 142,1±6,1 mmHg in 1 month (р<0,001) and to 131,1±6,1 mmHg in 3 months. (р<0,001), that is by 36 mmHg. BP decrease with the studied drug was similar in men and women, in patients older and younger 60. Target BP was reached in 79,6% of patients. The parameter “vascular age” after transition to PRESTANCE decreased in 3 months from 67,3±10,5 y. o. to 59,2±8,86 y. o., that is by 8,1 years.
Conclusion. Transition from mono or combination therapy to fixed combination of perindopril arginine/amlodipine releases rapid and potent antihypertensive efficacy in patients not reached the target BP at any previous therapy, including combination of perindopril with amlodipine.
