Popis: The study has evaluated the impact of 26-week therapy with Rilmenidine, 1-2 mg daily, versus atenolol, 50-100 mg daily, on the parameters of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, on the results of lipid phenotyping and oral glucose test in 37 patients with mild and moderate arterial hypertension (Stage II) during the randomized study. The antihypertensive effects of the drugs were comparable with a more significant decrease in heart rate in the atenolol group. At the same time, Rilmenidine showed good effects on the parameters of lipid metabolism and on the results of oral glucose tests as compared with atenolol whereas therapy with the latter resulted in deterioration of the blood lipid spectrum.
