Description
Summary:Aim. To study the effects of 16-week bisoprolol therapy on 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (BPM) data, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, tissue insulin sensitivity, and cerebral perfusion (CB) in patients with mild to moderate arterial hypertension (AH) and metabolic syndrome (MS).Material and methods. The study included 30 patients with I-II AH and MS receiving bisoprolol (5 mg/d). At baseline and after 3 months of the treatment, levels of total cholesterol (CH), high and low-density CH, triglycerides, fasting and postprandial glucose, and insulin were measured; 24-hour BPM and CP assessment were performed.Results. Bisoprolol monotherapy was associated with substantial reduction in nighttime mean maximal and minimal systolic and diastolic BP, without significant changes in lipid profile, fasting and postprandial glycemia, or CP, comparing to baseline levels.Conclusion. Due to its metabolically neutral effects, bisoprolol could be recommended in patients with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism disturbances.
