ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Obesity is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors for mortality. It increases the risk of developing hypertension and influences the response to antihypertensive drugs. Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) is a tool for a detailed analysis of mean blood pressure values and assessing the blood pressure (BP) profile during the night with the daily values and optimal treatment determination.
Aim:
The study aimed to evaluation the type of antihypertensive drugs and control assessment of hypertension based on ABPM in patients with severe obesity.
Material and methods:
The study group consisted of 129 overweight and obese patients (group 1: BMI < 40 kg/m2; group 2: BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2).They were interviewed, taking into account the antihypertensive drugs taken. We divided drugs into 5 groups: beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) / angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB), diuretics, calcium channel blockers and others. Mean systolic BP and diastolic BP from the day, day and night, mean heart rate from day to day was assessed based on ABPM.
Results and discussion:
The most frequently administered drugs in both groups were ACE-I/ARB. The second most often taken drug was β-blocker and diuretics. Group 1 was significantly older than group 2. Based on the analysis, HR level was significantly dependent on age, BMI, and diabetes. The systolic BP and diastolic BP level was dependent on age and sex.
Conclusions:
Only a combination of individually designed pharmacological therapy with personalized dietary interventions, regular exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, and bariatric interventions, when needed, could guarantee the final success. ABPM should be used routinely in every patients to control assessment of hypertension.
