title: [A decrease in left ventricular hypertrophy and the dynamics of the parameters of circadian BP monitoring under the influence of ramipril in patients with essential arterial hypertension].
abstract: To evaluate factors of action of ramipril, an inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme, which may induce a decrease in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), 45 LVH patients aged 21-53 years with mild and moderate essential hypertension have underwent echo-CG determination of left ventricular mass and 24-h monitoring of arterial pressure (AP). Multiple regression was used to examine prognostic significance of such parameters as age, sex, height, weight, duration of the disease, mean 24-h AP, its variability and the degree of nocturnal fall. It was found that ramipril reduced LVH irrespective of the hypotensive effect.
