1( is
well knownthat the anlihypertcnsivcactivityof ACE-inhibiWs is a( least in part rcla[cdto the inhibitionor bradykiniumctaholism,with subacquenlincrcasc in EDRF and EDHF. On the olbcr hand, ACEinhibition dcxs not interfere on the chymaaepathway, an imponant ACE-indipendcntway of productionof Angiotensin11(A-II) al the [issue level. on the contrary,the A-II antagonists,blocking the AT) receptors,inhibit the A-H producedfrom all sourcos,providinga more completeblockadeof tic cffoct of A-11,but do not have effect on bradykininmctatmlisnl. With the aim to evahmtc howmuch (he inhibitionof A-11prcducedby the chymaae psthway contributes 10 blocd pressure rertuctkm in hypcrtcnsivcstreatedwith ACE-inhibitors,and howmuchthe inhibition of bradykininmetabolismmayfurtherrrshm bloodpressurein patients treatedwith A-11antagonists,we studiedwith ABPMs groupof mild-tomoderak esssntial hypsrtensives(19M, 1lF, mean age 51.0~8.7yam, clinic SBP/DBP 155,2f10,4/105,6~8,8 morHg)in a controlkd single blindstndy.Atler a 4-weeksplacetmpsriod,patientswererandomizedto re.%ivcimsar’tan(L) 25nlgo.d. or Rsmipril(R) 2,5mgo.d. for 4 wreks, and thereaherto receiveL+I?,at the sane dosages,or to doublethe doses ofthe respectivemonoltrerspyfor 4 weeks.DuringtfreIaal4 weeksof lhe studyall the patientsrsccivedthe assmiationL50mgo.d. + R5n]go.d. in the pstientatreatedwith R, the asawiationof L al low dose further reduced24 hours SBP/DBPof 9,8f4,4/6,8f3,9 mrnHg,while, at high doae, the BP rrduction was 19,8f4,3/12,0t5,6 mrnkfg(p=0,0Q5);in patien.strsatsd with L, the associationof R, cauaeda slight rcduc[ionof BP: 3,2~2,5/4,0~3,9nunffg(lowdoae),snrt 7,3+3,4/5,5+3,5mndfg (highdose)(bothn.s.).
