title: [Drug therapy of diastolic cardiac insufficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant essential arterial hypertension].
abstract: Therapeutic efficiency of spirapryl and its combination with carvedilol in the treatment of diastolic cardiac insufficiency in patients with type 2 diabetes and essential arterial hypertension (AH). Criteria for inclusion in the study of 86 patients (20 men and 66 women) were diastolic cardiac insufficiency diagnosed as recommended by the Working Group of European Society of Cardiologists (2002). The patients were divided into 2 groups receiving either spirapryl (n = 42) or spirapryl with carvedilol (alpha, beta-adenoblocker). The patients were examined before and 24 weeks after therapy for the evaluation of their clinical condition, tolerance of physical activity, transmitral and transcuspidal diastolic flows (ECG and Doppler-ECG). All therapeutic modalities significantly improved the patients" conditions, diastolic function, and ECG/ECG characteristics, but the best results were obtained with combined therapy that had beneficial effect on transmitral and transcuspidal diastolic flows (P < 0.01) and tolerance of physical exercises (P < 0.05). It is concluded that combined treatment with spirapryl and its combination with carvedilol is more efficient for the management of diastolic cardiac insufficiency than carvedilol monotherapy.
