Article information

En los últimos años se han introducido nuevos fármacos hipotensores de acción sobre el sistema nervioso central (SNC). Éstos actúan específicamente sobre los receptores imidazólicos, que modulan en el sistema nervioso central la actividad del sistema nervioso simpático (SNS), sin actuar directamente sobre los centros adrenérgicos del sistema simpático. Estas sustancias han demostrado poseer menores efectos secundarios que los agentes centrales clásicos. Asimismo, parecen poseer un efecto metabólico positivo sobre la resistencia a la insulina. Su uso ofrece nuevas perspectivas en el tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial (HTA) en aquellos pacientes en los que la activación simpática desempeña un papel importante en la génesis de su problema hipertensivo.

In recent years, there have been introduced many new hypotensive drugs which act upon the central nervous system (CNS). These act specifically on imidazolic receptors, whose function in the central nervous system is to modulate sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity without acting directly on the adrenergic centers of the system. These agents have been shown to have fewer side-effects than conventional CNS agents. What is more, they seem to have a positive metabolic effect on insulin resistance. Their use offers new perspectives on the treatment of arterial hypertension for patients in which SNS activation plays a key role in the onset of such hypertension.
