Zofenopril in the treatment of patients with arterial hypertension and stable coronary heart disease: effects on oxidative stress and flowdependent vasodilatation
Aim. To compare the effects of ACE inhibitors zofenopril and perindopril on endothelial function and oxidative stress (OS) in patients with stable CHD and AH. Material and methods. In total, 40 patients with stable CHD (Functional Class II-III effort angina) and Stage 1-2 AH received zofenopril (7,5...

| Summary: | Aim. To compare the effects of ACE inhibitors zofenopril and perindopril on endothelial function and oxidative stress (OS) in patients with stable CHD and AH. Material and methods. In total, 40 patients with stable CHD (Functional Class II-III effort angina) and Stage 1-2 AH received zofenopril (7,5-30 mg/d; mean dose 18,6±8,8 mg/d; n=17) or perindopril (2-8 mg/d; mean dose 4,1±2,1 mg/d; n=23) for 12 weeks. At baseline and in the end of the study, all patients underwent reactive hyperemia test (RHT), to assess flow-dependent vasodilatation of brachial artery, and the measurement of OS parameters (malone dialdehyde, MDA, in low-density lipoproteins, MDALDL) and antioxidant parameters (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPO) activity in erythrocytes).Results. In both groups, a similar reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels was observed. In the zofenopril group, a significant elevation in brachial artery diameter increase during RHT, a significant increase in GPO activity, and some reduction in MDALDL levels were observed, which points to antioxidant system (AOS) activation and OS reduction. No similar changes of these parameters were observed in the perindopril group. Conclusion. In patients with stable CHD and AH, zofenopril, but not perindopril, reduced OS severity and increased AOS system activity, which was associated with improved endothelial-dependent vasodilatation. |
