Park, Chae, Youn, Lee, Park, Chae, Kim, Choi, and Hong: A Clinical Study on the Antihypertensive Effect, and the Changes of Left Ventricular Mass and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function of Perindopril

Abstract

Background

Perindopril. a new second-generation angiotensin converting enzyme inhinbitor was administered in essential hypertensive patients in order to observe the clinical effects.

Method

The changes of blood pressure, heart rate, clinical laboratory examinations, side effects, electrocardiogram, echocardiographic left ventricular mass, and left ventricular diastolic function were evaluated before and after 4–8mg of perindopril for 12 weeks administration in 20 essential hypertensive patients(male 4, female 16; mean age 57 ± 12 years).

Results

1) The average of blood pressure of 20 subjects were systolic 172.5 ± 17.4mmHg and diastolic 106.4 ± 7.7mmHg before treatment which were lowered to 142.8 ± 16.0mmHg and 88.6 ± 8.6mmHg respectively ofter 12 weeks(P<0.05). There was no significant reduction in heart rate.
2) The average of left ventricular mass before treatment was 287.5 ± 61g. which was lowered to 251.3 ± 39.7g. But there was no significant difference in left ventricular mass before and after treatment(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction before and after treatment.
3) Side effects were 2 cases of mild dry cough and 2 headache.

Conclusion

Perindopril may be an effective initial single antihypertensive agent for the treatment of essential hypertension with little side effects.
