The place of beta-adrenergic receptor blockers in the treatment of arterial hypertension: from bench-to-bedside.

Arterial hypertension is a multifaceted condition influenced by numerous pathophysiological factors. The key contributors to its pathogenesis encompass an unhealthy lifestyle, dysregulation of the sympathetic nervous system, alterations in the activity of adrenergic receptors, disruptions in sodium metabolism, structural and functional abnormalities in the vascular bed, as well as endothelial dysfunction, low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress etc. Despite extensive research into the mechanisms of arterial hypertension development over the centuries, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood, and the selection of an effective treatment strategy continues to pose a significant challenge. Arterial hypertension is characterized by a diminished sensitivity of the ß-adrenergic system, leading to the utilization of ß-adrenergic blockers and other antihypertensive drugs in its treatment. This review delves into the mechanisms of action of beta-adrenergic receptor blockers in the treatment of hypertension and their respective effects.

Urotensin-II As a Promising Key-Point of Cardiovascular Disturbances Sequel.

Arterial hypertension is a highly urgent problem of modern medicine since the crisis of blood pressure control remains open, due to the increasing number of uncontrolled arterial hypertension. Today, one of the most critical problems of cardiology is the study of the mechanisms of development and progression of arterial hypertension. Therefore, our international and multidisciplinary working group presents a vision of a new therapeutic target - urotensin II in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension. Thus, this article reflects the concept of the Armenian, Georgian and Iranian medical schools.
