title: [Losartan for the correction of thrombocyte activity in patients suffering from arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate therapeutic effects of losartan on intravascular thrombocyte activity (ITA) in patients suffering from arterial hypertension with metabolic syndrome (MS). The subjects of the study were 35 patients administered losartan 50 mg a day for 4 months. The dynamics of the following parameters were evaluated: anthropometric parameters, blood lipids, lipid peroxidation in blood plasma and thrombocytes, the anti-oxidative protection of the liquid part of blood and platelets, and ITA. Student criterion was used for statistical analysis. In patients with AH and MS losartan had a positive effect on peroxidation syndrome and optimized ITA. To maintain the positive effects, prolonged administration of losartan is needed. In order to lower body mass in AH patients with MS losartan should be used in combination with non-drug means.
