Abstrakt:	Aim: To compare effectiveness, tolerance and safety of two inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme--sinopril (lisinopril) and capoten (captopril)--in outpatient treatment of patients with mild and moderate hypertension. Materials and Methods: The patients were randomly assigned to sinopril or capoten groups. Sinopril was given in daily dose 10-40 mg, capoten--in daily dose 25-100 mg for 8 weeks. In insufficient antihypertensive effect of monotherapy on day 21, hydrochlortiaside was added. The effect was judged by influence on arterial pressure, heart rate, tolerance (questionnaire), safety (blood count, urinalysis. ECG). Results: Sinopril produced good antihypertensive effect in 73.3% of patients (monotherapy) and 88.9% (combined therapy). For capoten it was 68.9 and 82.2%, respectively. The time of the beginning of the antihypertensive effect (4-20 days after the start of the treatment) for sinopril and copoten differed insignificantly and depended on hypertension severity (mild or moderate). Tolerance of both drugs was good, serious side effects were absent. Discontinuation of the drugs was needed in 4% of patients, only. No negative action on bioelectric activity of the heart, clinical and biochemical blood indices were found. Conclusion: Sinopril and capoten demonstrate high antihypertensive activity.
