ABSTRACT
In patients who have undergone coronavirus infection, decompensation of the course of chronic cardiovascular diseases, including arterial hypertension, is often observed, which is due to a num-ber of their common pathogenetic mechanisms. To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of controlling arterial hypertension and improving the quality of life who underwent a new coronavirus infection. Totally 62 patients with arterial hypertension who had previously undergone coronavirus infection were examined. The criterion for inclusion in the study was a decrease in blood pressure control on the background of previously effective two-component therapy. Depending on the heart rate at rest, the patients were divided into two groups. In both groups, triple antihypertensive therapy was used as a second step. In the first group-a combination of perindopril 5 mg, indapamide 2.5 mg, amlo-dipine 5 mg. The second group included patients with a heart rate of more than 80 beats per minute, perindopril 5 mg, bisoprolol 5 mg, amlodipine 5 mg. The antihypertensive efficacy of the studied drug combinations was analyzed according to the data of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. During the treatment of arterial hypertension, the dynamics of quality-of-life indicators was analyzed. A study of 24-hour monitoring and blood pressure variability in both groups of patients with coro-navirus infection demonstrated the lack of effective blood pressure control. The use of the analyzed variants of three-component therapy made it possible to achieve the target level of blood pressure in 89.6% and 93.9% of cases, respectively. In both study groups, the achievement of office blood pressure control was accompanied by a statistically significant decrease in all its daily parameters. On the background of antihypertensive therapy in both groups of the study, there was a significant and reliable (p<0.05) increase in all parameters for assessing the quality of life, which reflects the effectiveness of the treatment of arterial hypertension in patients who have had a coronavirus infection in increasing satisfaction with their lives and improving social functioning. Therapy with the use of perindopril, bisoprolol, amlodipine was accompanied by the achievement of significantly (p<0.05) higher rates of mental and physical health components.
