Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of combined irbesartan/hydrochlomthiazide on morning blood pressure surge(MBPS)and left ventricular mass(LVM) in essential hypertension.Methods After 4-8 weeks' run-in period,if blood pressure wagn't up to the standard,the 120 patients were given irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide once daily from 150 mg/12.5 mg for 12 months to 300 mg/25mg for another 12 months.MBPS was conducted by arnbuhry blood pressure monitoring(ABPM)and LVM was determined by echocardiography at the end of placebo baseline and 12 months later.Results (1)After treatment the patients with MBPS(+)decreased and patients with MBPS(-) increased.(2)After treatment the extents of MBPS were reduced in MBPS(+)patients[systolic blood pressure(SBP)difference(16.1±1.8)mm Hg(1mm Hg=0.133 kPa)vs(29.4±2.8)mm Hg,diastolic blood pressure(DBP)difference(10.2±2.3)mm Hg vs(21.2±2.2)mm Hg,P<0.01]with little change in MBPS(-)patients[SBP difference(11.2±2.4)mm Hg vs(10.1±1.2)mm Hg,DBP difference(5.9±1.9)mm Hg vs(6.8±3.2)mm Hg]compared with before treatment.(3)LVM indexes of all patients were significantly reduced.Conclusion Irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide can effectively attenuate the extent of MBPS, and has advantages on reversing left ventricular hypertrophy.
