[Effectiveness of nifedipine in the treatment of arterial hypertension in various types of diabetes mellitus].

Selection of indications and the general tactics of nifedipine monotherapy of hypertension in diabetic subjects is not clearly established, as yet. It refers specifically to different forms and phases of diabetes mellitus. This was the reason to carry out a respective study. In 4 groups of hypertension: 1) in diabetics without vascular complications, 2) in diabetic nephropathy, 3) in diabetics type II without nephropathy, and 4) in comparative group of subjects without diabetes mellitus, a 6-week controlled, open trial was performed. Before, during and after nifedipine (3 X 10-20 mg p.d.), the following parameters were monitored: 1) systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures, 2) glycaemic indices of diabetes control, 3) serum cholesterol: total, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, 4) daily albuminuria and GFR, 5) adverse reactions to nifedipine. It could be concluded that nifedipine therapy was relatively most effective and safe in hypertensive diabetics type II without nephropathy. It was less effective in diabetics type I without nephropathy and failed in diabetics type I with nephropathy.

[Monotherapy with acebutolol in hypertensive diabetic patients].

Monotherapy of hypertension with acebutolol in diabetics in daily dose of 200-400 mg for 6 weeks induced only non-significant and practically not acceptable hypotensive effect in groups of patients with hypertension and diabetes type I or type II without nephropathy. No therapeutical effect was observed in hypertension in diabetics type I with nephropathy. Administration of acebutolol to hypertensive diabetic patients with nephropathy resulted in tendency to increase in albuminuria. Values of creatinine clearance did not change at the same time. Also no effect of acebutolol on glycemic or lipid indices was observed. The lack of clear hypotensive effect under studied conditions of acebutolol in diabetic patients contrasted with its significant action in comparative group of hypertensive non-diabetic subjects.
