[The evaluation of cilazapril efficacy in patients with stable arterial hypertension (a randomized study)].

34 patients with stable arterial hypertension (AH) were randomized by mean arterial pressure (MAP), end-diastolic LV volume and cardiac output in a study of cilazapril efficacy in a dose 2.5 and 5 mg/day. Antihypertensive effect in the majority of patients with MAP 120-135 and 136-150 mm Hg was insufficient (diastolic pressure > 94 mm Hg). Dose-effect action on hemodynamics was absent. Hemodynamic benefits were noted in patients with end diastolic LV volume > 5.0-5.7 cm.
