Objetivo

Valorar si fosinopril es capaz de reducir las cifras de fibrinógeno en pacientes con hipertensión arterial esencial (HTA) y valorar la influencia de otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular.

Métodos

Hipertensos esenciales (PAD: 90-114; PAS: 140-180 mmHg) de cualquier sexo y edad superior a 30 años sin contraindicaciones para el uso de fosinopril. Tres visitas con registro de presión arterial (PA) y fibrinógeno por nefelometría (basal, 3 meses, 6 meses). Tratamiento con fosinopril 20 mg/día.

Resultados

Setenta y cinco pacientes (54,7 % mujeres); edad media: 59,8±10,4 años; peso: 73,9±10,9 kg; IMC: 28,0 ± 3,8 kg/m2. Fosinopril disminuye significativamente la PA y el fibrinógeno plasmático en las visitas 2 y 3. El 54,7 % y el 88 % de los pacientes normalizan la presión arterial sistólica (PAS) y la presión arterial diastólica (PAD), respectivamente, en la visita 3. No existe correlación entre los efectos sobre PAS, PAD y fibrinógeno. No existen diferencias en el efecto sobre fibrinógeno para sexo, IMC o hábito tabáquico.

Conclusiones

Fosinopril reduce la presión arterial y el fibrinógeno plasmático en pacientes hipertensos sin que exista correlación entre ambos efectos. El efecto puede estar ligado a la inhibición de la enzima conversora de la angiotensina (IECA), sin que pueda descartarse la participación de otros efectos metabólicos de este IECA.

Aim

To evaluate whether fosinopril is able to reduce fibrinogen levels in essential arterial hypertension patients, and to evaluate the influence of other cardiovascular risk factorss

Methods

Essential hypertensive (DBP: 90-114; SBP: 140-180 mmHg) patients of either sex over age 30, and without contraindications to fosinopril. Three visits with blood pressure and fibrinogen measurements (basal, 3 months, 6 months). Plasma fibrinogen concentration was determined by nephelometry. Treatment with fosinopril at 20 mg/day.

Results

75 patients (54.7% women); median age: 59.8 ± 10.4 years old; weight: 73.9 ± 10.9 kg; BMI: 28.0 ± 3.8 kg/m2. Fosinopril was found to significantly reduce BP and plasma fibrinogen by the 2nd and 3rd visits. 54.7 % and 88 % of patients are shown to have normalized SBP and DBP, respectively, by the 3rd visit. No correlation was found among effects on SBP, DBP and fibrinogen. No differences were found in the effect on fibrinogen related to either sex, BMI or smoking habits.

Conclusions

Fosinopril decreases blood pressure and plasma fibrinogen in hypertensive patients without there being any correlation between the two reductions. Its effect might be linked to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition, as well as to other metabolic effects of this ACEI.
