title: [An AT-II blocker in patients with type II diabetes and arterial hypertension].
abstract: The subjects of the study were 30 patients with type II diabetes mellitus and mild or moderate arterial hypertension. Clinical-and-hemodinamic organoprotective effects of eprosartan, a new angiotensin II blocker, was evaluated in these patients within 16 weeks. The study found a good hypotensive effect of monotherapy with eprosartan in a mean therapeutic dose of 600 mg/day--the target blood pressure levels were achieved in 63.3% of the patients. Fasting insulin level and insulin resistance decreased, which improved hydrocarbonate and lipid exchange parameters. Eprosartan was significantly effective as an organoprotective agent: the patients displayed improvement of eye ground vessel condition, decrease of microalbuminuria, improvement of cardiodynamic parameters i.e. decrease of the thickness of left ventricular (LV) back wall and intravenricular septum, as well as reduction of myocardial mass index. 70% of the patients demonstrated improvement of LV diastolic function.
