Влияние различных антигипертензивных препаратов на процессы сосудистого старения

The review summarizes the data of past two decades on the effect of hypertension on vascular aging and considers the effect of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress patterns on the remodeling of cardiovascular system. Clinical studies on the effect of various classes of antihypertensive drugs on age-associated parameters of vascular aging are discussed. These include endothelial dysfunction and arterial assessed by endothelium-dependent vasodilation, pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, cardiovascular index, thickness of the intima-media complex, and so on.
