Prognostic advantage of a combination of calcium antagonist and angiotensin converting inhibitor (ACEI) over combination of beta-adrenoblocker with thiazide diuretic was proved in a large randomized study of long term treatment of arterial hypertension. In another randomized study administration of ACEI for 12 months caused substantial retardation of cardiac remodeling in elderly patients with normal left ventricular function in postinfarction period. These results are important for a practical physicians as they concern treatment of wide circle of in- out-patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
