Abstract

The results of investigations had showed the high efficiency of the combination of atorvastatin with telmisartan in patients with arterial hypertension combined with obesity and NAFLD. Such combined treatment had led to a significant decrease of cholesterol levels (p < 0.01), LDL cholesterol (p < 0.05) and TG (p < 0.01), helped to decrease in SBP of 159.75 ± 3,00 to 137.50 ± 1,38 mm Hg (< 0.01), DBP from 93.75 ± 1,57 to 79.25 ± 0,90 mm Hg ( < 0.001), and thus made it possible to significantly improve the health of patients and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. According 13C-methacetin breath test, this combination positively influences the lipid metabolism and improves the metabolic function of the liver. One of the mechanisms of action of telmisartan may be its indirect impact on adipokines system, which was demonstrated by an increase in the rate of metabolism and growth of indices of cumulative doses on 40 and 120 minutes.
