ANTIHYPERTENSIVE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF OLMESARTAN AND RAMIPRILIN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH MILD TO MODERATE SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLICESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION
Objective. To compare the efficacy and safety of olmesartan medoxomil (O) and ramipril (R) in elderly patients with essential arterial hypertension. Methods. After a 2‑week placebo washout, 351 elderly hypertensive patients aged 65–89 years (office sitting diastolic blood pressure, DBP, 90–109 mmHg...

| description | Objective. To compare the efficacy and safety of olmesartan medoxomil (O) and ramipril (R) in elderly patients with essential arterial hypertension. Methods. After a 2‑week placebo washout, 351 elderly hypertensive patients aged 65–89 years (office sitting diastolic blood pressure, DBP, 90–109 mmHg and office sitting systolic blood pressure, SBP, 140–179 mmHg) were randomized doubleblind to 12‑week treatment with O 10 mg or R 2.5 mg once daily. After the first 2 and 6 weeks, doses could be doubled in non-normalized (blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg for non-diabetic and ≥ 130/80 mmHg for diabetic) subjects, up to 40 mg for O and 10 mg for R. Office blood pressures were assessed at randomization, after 2, 6 and 12 weeks of treatment; 24‑h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) was recorded at randomization and after 12 weeks. Results. At week 12, in the intention-to-treat population (170 patients O and 175 R) the rate of normalized subjects was significantly larger in the O group (38.8% vs 26.3% R; p = 0.013). Baseline-adjusted mean sitting office blood pressure reduction at final visit was not significantly greater under O [SBP: 16.6 (95% confidence interval 14.0/19.2) mmHg vs 13.0 (10.4/15.6) mmHg R, p = 0.206; DBP: 11.8 (10.3/13.3) mmHg vs 10.5 (9.0/12.0) mmHg, p = 0.351]. In the subgroup of patients with valid ABP recordings (38 O and 47 R), the reduction in 24‑h average blood pressure was significantly (p = 0.01) larger with O [SBP: 8.9 (9.8/8.1) and DBP: 5.7 (6.3/5.1) mmHg] than with R [6.7 (7.9/5.6) and 4.4 (5.1/3.7) mmHg]. The superiority of O was particularly evident in the last 4 h from the dosing interval. The proportion of patients with drug-related adverse events was comparable in the two groups (4.0% O vs 4.5% R), as well as the number of patients discontinuing study drug because of a side-effect (8 O vs 7 R). Conclusions. In elderly patients with essential arterial hypertension, O provides an effective, prolonged and well tolerated blood pressure control, with significantly better blood pressure normalization than R and represents a useful option among first-line drug treatments of hypertension in this age group. |
