We describe 4 consecutive hypertensive women with polycystic ovary syndrome, classified according to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) criteria, treated with telmisartan 40 mg/d for six months. Blood pressure, menstrual pattern, body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and androstenedione were recorded and measured before and after telmisartan treatment. Obese hypertensive polycystic ovary syndrome patients had a decrease in systolic blood pressure. Marked drop-off in serum androgen concentrations was observed in all four patients. Three patients improved their menstrual cyclicity. The improvements were independent of changes in weight. The reduction of androgen concentrations and improvement in menstrual pattern was achieved despite a non-significant change of fasting insulin levels in patients, who were not considered severely insulin resistant at baseline. These findings may provide a new basis for a proper choice of the antihypertensive drug in hypertensive women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
我们描述了4例连续的患有多囊卵巢综合征的高血压女性患者,这些患者根据美国国立儿童健康与人类发展研究所(NICHD)的标准进行分类,接受了每日40毫克替米沙坦治疗,为期6个月。在替米沙坦治疗前后记录并测量了血压、月经模式、体重指数(BMI)、胰岛素抵抗的稳态模型评估、睾酮、硫酸脱氢表雄酮(DHEAS)和雄烯二酮。肥胖的高血压多囊卵巢综合征患者收缩压有所下降。所有4例患者的血清雄激素浓度均显著下降。3例患者的月经周期得到改善。这些改善与体重变化无关。尽管患者空腹胰岛素水平无显著变化,但雄激素浓度降低且月经模式得到改善,这些患者在基线时不被认为存在严重胰岛素抵抗。这些发现可能为多囊卵巢综合征高血压女性患者合理选择降压药物提供新的依据。
