Effect of Perindopril / Amlodipine Fixed Combination on Ultrasound Characteristics of Ventricles of the Heart in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease and Arterial Hypertension

Abstract

In a group of 32 patients with combined ischemic heart disease (IHD) and arterial hypertension (AH) we studied dynamics of parameters of blood pressure and ECG 24-hour monitoring, as well as ultrasound structural and functional parameters of left and right ventricles during 3-month therapy with fixed dose combination of perindopril arginine (10.0 mg) and amlodipine (5.0 mg). The obtained results demonstrated significant positive effect of this combination on the geometry, structure and diastolic function of both left and right ventricles, as well as confirmed its high antiischemic and antihypertensive effects.
