APELIN OF BLOOD IN PATIENTS WITH ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION AND TYPE 2 DIABETES AND WITHOUT IT IN THE DINAMICS OF COMBINED THERAPY

In the course of the study, there were examined 40 patients with hypertension, including 19 patients with associated type 2 diabetes before and after 12 weeks of treatment with olmesartan and lercanidipine during the therapy with atorvastatin. The patients with type 2 diabetes were additionally treated with metformin. The control group consisted of 10 practically healthy people. We found that in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes, the blood levels of apelin were lower than those in the control group. Among hypertensive patients without type 2 diabetes, the blood levels of apelin depend on diastolic blood pressure, lipid parameters, left atrium size, aortic diameter. In patients with combination of hypertension and type 2 diabetes, apelin correlated with duration of hypertension, diastolic blood pressure, atherogenic factor and left atrium size. In hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes, a significant increase in blood levels of apelin after treatment was found in comparison with its basal levels. These data confirm the participation of endogenous peptide apelin in the processes of blood pressure regulation, atherogenesis and pathological cardiac remodeling in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes and without it.
