576 of patients with ages of 50-80 in the cardiovascular department of Friendship hospital participated to a study aiming at determination of frequent of the cardiovascular disease and common complications. The results have shown that the hypertension and the myocardial ischemia were two major cardiovascurlar diseases. The hypertension was major cause of the cerebrovascular accident while the cardiac valve diseases had a high rate of the cardiac failure. The hypertension and myocardial ischemia also were cause of the cardiac failure if these diseases were not treated properly.

A study on 116 patients with the coronary arterial disease in Friendship hospital during 1996-2000 to evaluate the risk factors such as blood pressure, left ventricular thickness, body mass index (BMI), glycemia cholesterolemia and weight of myocardiac. The results have shown that the disease occurred mainly in patients with ages of 60-69; men with disease (64.6%); hypertension in grade I, II and III (60.3%) hyper cholesterolemia (56.3%); hypertriglyceridemia (25%), less physical exercise (58.7%); obesity in grade I, II, III (39%); diabetes (18.9%), left ventricular thickness (18.9%); postmentruation (85.3%). The study concluded that It is necessary to intervent early the risk factors to slow the progress of disease and reduce the accidents

An open, randomized and prospective study was conducted at the H÷u NghÞ Hospital. Participants were 30 male patients with type II diabetes with age ranged from 50-80 years. The results showed that age, duration of disease, hypertension, hypercholesteremia and hypertriglyceremia related to major vascular complications. Type II diabetics with hypertension need to control the blood pressure to slow the progress of major vascular complications. Individuals who have high BMI without diabetes should take physical exercise to prevent from diabetes.

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have a good effects for patients with primary hypertension and in solving some outcomes of the diseases leading to left ventricular insuffiency. The mechanism of the drugs is to bind zinc ion of angiotension converting enzyme. Therefore, the effect of converting angiotensin I into angiotension II was lost. Angiotension II has effect of the smooth muscle stimulation, aldosterone excretion, hemodynamic change, catecholomine release and glucocorticoid exeretion.

40 patients with hypertension according to the standard of JNC VI 1997 treated in the cardiovascular department of Friendship Hospital participated to a study. The results have shown that Dilatrend had a good hypotensive effect at dose of 12,5 mg /day (one tablet) for patients with hypertension in phase I or II. The drug remitted obviously the cardiac failure in patients with hypertension combining with the cardiac failure. The drug did not cause arrhythmia. There were no death and the hypertensive attack

36 patients with essential hypertension at grade I or II and ages of 60-84, treated by Hyperium at dose of 1-2 mg/day has shown that the drug reduced both diastolic and systolic blood pressure and did not cause the hematological and metabolic disorders. Therefore, Hyperium may be used for patients with grade I or II hypertension. However, it should further study on the larger number of patients and in long-term duration

32 patients (male: 21) with average ages of 62 (11,4, hypertension (systolic blood pressure: 180mmHg, diastolic blood pressure: 110 mmHg) received the sublingual captopril at dose of 25 mg. The hemodynamometery was implemented before and after 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes of using the drug. If the blood pressure was not reduced to wanted level, the patient indicated more one tablet. If the blood pressure did not reduce about 25%, patients will be treated by combination of captopril with other drugs. The results have shown that efficacy at dose of 25 mg, 15 cases, at dose of 50 mg: 12 cases; ineffect and poor effect: 5 cases. Initial time of effect: 7 (1.04 minutes after using; time for maximum effect: 61 (24.3 minutes after using. The study concluded that captopril can be used in the urgent hypertension

40 hypertension patients aged from 45-75 years, with the signs of thickening of left heart ventricle detected by radiography, ECG and ultrasound were enrolled in tis study. The control group includes 35 other patients with the same range of age and the same stage of hypertension without thickening of left heart ventricle. The authors didn’t find any relation between the thickening of left heart ventricle and arrhythmia.

30 patients (male:26) with average ages of 61+/- 8.5 and primary hypertension grade I-II were consulted and tested who used plendyl at a initial dose of 5 mg daily, within 4 weeks. The use of plendyl has demonstrated that the drug reduced both diastolic and systolic blood pressure.

30 patients (male: 25) with average ages of 61+/- 3.8 and hypertension grade I-II were examined and tested. They used coversyl at a dose of 4mg/day. The results have indicated that the use of coversyl at dose of 4 mg daily reduced quitely the blood pressure and maintained this throughout 4 weeks of the treatment for grade I-II hypertensive patients. The major side effects was dry cough which related with the dose. Therefore, it should combine coversyl with other drug to prevent from using the high dose of coversyl in case the blood pressure was not reduced as wanted.
