В пожилом возрасте распространенность артериальной гипертонии (АГ) достигает 50% и более, и риск развития сердечно-сосудистых осложнений в 3–4 раза выше по сравнению с больными молодого возраста, что определяет важность адекватного контроля АГ у этой категории больных.
Дигидропиридиновые блокаторы кальциевых каналов (БКК) третьего поколения помимо выраженного антигипертензивного действия обладают вазоселективностью, оказывают антиангинальное и органопротективное действие и эффективны при лечении АГ у пожилых.
Представитель дигидропиридиновых БКК лерканидипин отличается высокой липофильностью и вазоселективностью – наибольшей среди БКК третьего поколения. Лерканидипин способен обеспечивать постепенно развивающийся продолжительный антигипертензивный эффект, что позволяет с успехом применять его как в виде монотерапии, так и в составе комбинированной терапии для лечения АГ у пожилых. Лерканидипин метаболически нейтрален, по сравнению с другими БКК имеет лучшую переносимость, при его приеме значительно реже возникают периферические отеки. Хороший профиль переносимости лерканидипина способствует лучшей приверженности долгосрочной антигипертензивной терапии пациентов пожилого возраста.
In the elderly, the prevalence of essential hypertension (EH) amounts to as much as 50% or more and the cardiovascular risk is 3–4 times higher than that in young patients, which determines the importance of adequate EH control in this category of patients.
In addition to their marked antihypertensive activity, third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCB) have vasoselective, antianginal, and organ-protective effects and are effective in treating EH in the elderly.
Lercanidipine, a representative of the dihydropyridine CCBs, shows a high lipophilicity and vasoselectivity, which are the highest among the third-generation CCBs. The drug is able to provide a gradually developing long-term antihypertensive effect, which allows its successful use as both monotherapy and part of combination therapy for EH in the elderly. Lercanidipine is metabolically neutral and better tolerable than other CCBs and less frequently causes peripheral edema. Its good tolerability profile contributes to better adherence to long-term antihypertensive therapy in elderly patients.
Key words: essential hypertension, the elderly, calcium channel blocker, lercanidipine.
