The functional condition of endothelium is investigated at 36 patients with arterial hypertension II-III of a stage (aged 44-80 years) during 3 monthly treatments by fixed combination metoprolol succinate + felodipine (Logimax). Blood pressure (BP) was monitored for 24 hours. Endothelial vasodilatation function and thickness of a complex intimae - media were evaluated with ultrasonic duplex scanning of arteries. It has been revealed reduced endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and structural remodeling of peripheral arteries in elderly hypertensives. Alongside with high antihypertensive activity, indapamid retard positively influenced on structural and functional characteristics of humeral arteries.
