title: [Dynamics of a 24-h profile of arterial pressure and function of the vascular endothelium in nebivolol treatment of hypertensive patients].
abstract: To assess a hypotensive activity of nebivolol (nebilet) including its action on the 24-h profile and baroreceptor control of arterial pressure (AP), vegetative regulation of the heart and vasculomotor endothelial function in AP patients, 30 AH patients were given nebivolol in a dose 5 mg/day for 8 weeks. The results of the treatment show that nebivolol effectively maintains a safe 24-h control of AP, acts positively on chronostructure of AP 24-h profile, produced no clinically significant side effects, corrects vegetative heart regulation and improves baroreceptor AP control. Moreover, nebilet modulates a stable vasodilating effect which improves function of vascular endothelium, initiates regression of left ventricular myocardium hypertrophy by raising its elasticity without changing much its contractile function. Thus, nebivolol is a highly effective drug for treatment of arterial hypertension which corrects a wide spectrum of unfavourable shifts in cardiovascular system function.
