| Summary: | <p><strong>Aim.</strong> To study effect of antihypertensive drugs on quality of life (QoL) of patients with stable arterial hypertension (HT).</p><p><strong>Material and methods.</strong> Results of some studies with similar design involving totally 170 patients with HT, aged 57,2±8,8 y.o., were analyzed. HT duration was 11,2±8,3 years. Patients received antihypertensive monotherapy with diltiazem, amlodipine, enalapril, lisinopril, metoprolol and telmisartan during 1-3 months. 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring, QoL was performed before and after treatment.</p><p><strong>Results.</strong> All antihypertensive drugs significantly reduced systolic and diastolic BP and did not affect QoL. ACE inhibitors similarly improved QoL.</p><p><strong>Conclusion.</strong> Antihypertensive drugs (diltiazem, amlodipine, enalapril, lisinnopril, metoprolol, telmisartan) do not worsen QoL of patients with HT.</p> |
