PLEIOTROPIC EFFECTS OF THE BONE METABOLISM MODULATOR - STRONTIUM RANELATE IN TREATMENT OF WOMEN WITH THE POSTMENOPAUSAL OSTEOPOROSIS AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION.
Abstract
The trial was aimed at studying the effects of the modulator of bone metabolism - strontium ranelate on the parameters of cardiovascular remodeling in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) and arterial hypertension (AH). This effect includes the results of study of strontium ranelate in 48 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis AH 1-2 degrees and moderate or high cardiovascular risk. During 36 weeks 25 patients, in addition to antihypertensive therapy and calcium supplementation received strontium ranelate (Bivalos) 2 g / day. Bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The effect of strontium ranelate treatment on the thickness of the intima-media of the carotid artery (IMT) by the method of duplex scanning on structural and functional parameters of the heart by echocardiography also evaluated. Adding of strontium ranelate to the antihypertensive treatment and calcium supplementation in women with postmenopausal OP and AH has a positive effect on central hemodynamics, cardiovascular remodeling and diastolic filling.
