Monitoring of arterial pressure in the efficacy assessment of combined drug therapy selection for hypotension

A study was made of indices for a long-term monitoring of arterial pressure in patients presenting with moderately severe essential hypertension prior to treatment and against the background of administration of a combined pharmacotherapy. There was an improvement in male subjects with hyperkinetic type circulation on a combination of two drug preparations (atenolol and enalapril maleate) while female subjects derived benefit from three drugs (atenolol and enalapril maleate, hydrochlorothiazide) irrespective of the hemodynamic type of circulation.
