The aim of the study was to obtain a comparative evaluation of antihypertensive efficacy, tolerability and influence of combine therapy on myocardium mass, diastolic function of a left ventricle, lipid and carbohydrate exchange in patients with arterial hypertension in metabolic syndrome. Out of 40 examined cases 20 patients took enalapril and long-acting nifedipin and 20 ones--enalapril and moxonidine. All examination were been performed before administration of drugs and 6 months after the therapy. The dynamics of indices of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography, cycle ergometry, anthropometry, lipid, carbohydrate exchange and tolerability of conducted therapy was been evaluated. The use of this combination of the drugs may be recommended to be included in the treatment of arterial hypertension within the bounds of metabolic syndrome, as in most of cases they promote an achievement of target blood pressure level, have a cardioprotective action, high tolerability and favorable metabolic profile. The combination of enalapril and long-acting nifedipin has a more evident antihypertensive activity but a therapy with enalapril and moxonidine has a positive effect on the indices of carbohydrate exchange.
