To study antihypertensive efficacy and safety of valsartan (Diovan, Novartis Pharma) as well as patient’s compliance to the mono- or combined valsartan based therapy in smoking vs non-smoking hypertensive patients.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. It was a prospective multicenter observation study. 114 doctors from 81 medical institutions of Russia participated in the study. 650 hypertensive patients (41,2% of smokers and 58,8% of non-smokers; age 53,9±0,4 y.o. in average) were included in the study. The evaluation of therapy efficacy was based on analysis of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure (BP) changes and of patient number who answered to the treatment and reached BP target level. Safety and compliance of the treatment also was analyzed. The initial valsartan dose was 80 mg OD and may be increased (up to 320 mg OD) by doctor for achievement of BP target level. A combination of the valsartan with hydrochlorothiazide was also allowed. Amlodipine (5-10 mg/d) or any other antihypertensive also may be added if necessary.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Significant decrease of SBP and DBP was observed in each group between the 1st and 5th visits. SBP decreased by 37,5 mm Hg (р&lt;0,01) in smoking patients and by 37,6 mm Hg (р&lt;0,01) in non-smoking ones. DBP decreased by 18,5 mm Hg (р&lt;0,01) in smoking patients and by 15,9 mm Hg (р&lt;0,01) in non-smoking ones. Differences in SBP and DBP changes were not significant between groups. Target BP level (&lt;140/90 mm Hg) was reached in 96,2% of smokers and in 96% of non-smokers. 99% of smoking patients and 96,1% of non-smoking ones responded to valsartan based therapy according to defined criteria.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Similar antihypertensive efficacy and safety of valsartan mono- and combined therapy was found out in smoking and non-smoking hypertensive patients.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Изучить антигипертензивную эффективность, переносимость и приверженность лечению валсартаном (Диован, Новартис Фарма) в качестве моно- или комбинированной терапии у курящих в сравнении с некурящими пациентами с артериальной гипертонией (АГ).</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В проспективном многоцентровом наблюдательном исследовании приняли участие 114 врачей из 81 медицинского учреждения России. В исследование были включены 650 пациентов, из них курящих — 268 (41,2%), некурящих — 382 (58,8%). Средний возраст пациентов составил 53,9±0,4 года. Оценка эффективности терапии проводилась по снижению систолического (САД) и диастолического (ДАД) артериального давления (АД) у курящих и некурящих пациентов, доле пациентов, ответивших на проводимое лечение и достигших целевого уровня АД. Безопасность и переносимость проводимого лечения анализировали согласно сообщениям о нежелательных явлениях. Начальная доза валсартана составляла 80 мг 1 раз в сутки и могла быть увеличена по решению врача для достижения целевого уровня АД (максимальная суточная доза валсартана — 320 мг). Допускалось также назначение комбинации валсартана с гидрохлортиазидом. Также мог быть добавлен амлодипин (5-10 мг) или любой другой антигипертензивный препарат.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Отмечено значимое снижение САД и ДАД в каждой группе между первым и пятым визитами. Среднее снижение САД в группе курящих пациентов составило 37,5 мм рт.ст. (р&lt;0,01), в группе некурящих пациентов — 37,6 мм рт.ст. (р&lt;0,01). Среднее снижение ДАД в группе курящих пациентов составило 18,5 мм рт.ст. (р&lt;0,01), в группе некурящих пациентов — 15,9 мм рт.ст. (р&lt;0,01). При этом не было выявлено значимых различий динамики САД и ДАД между группами. Целевой уровень АД &lt;140/90 мм рт.ст. был достигнут у 96,2% курящих и 96% некурящих пациентов. Количество пациентов, ответивших на терапию в соответствии с заданными критериями, в группе курящих пациентов составило 99%, в группе некурящих — 96,1%.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Продемонстрирована одинаковая антигипертензивная эффективность и безопасность валсартана в виде монотерапии и в составе комбинаций у курящих в сравнении с некурящими пациентами с АГ.</p><p>Авторы выражают благодарность всем участникам исследования</p></sec><sec><title>Врачи-участники</title><p>Врачи-участники: Андриянов М.Т., Анфалова Л.К., Багдулина Е.Н., Бевзо Г.В., Бикбаева Г.М., Борушнова О.В., Борщев А.В., Брыков С.А., Булашова О.В., Булыгина Е., Валова М.П., ВарнаковаЛ.Н., Васильева О.А., Велижанина И.А., Владимирский В.Е., Воронкова Н.Б., Гзогян М.Н., Главатских И.А., Глебова С.А., Глухова М.М., Глущенко Н.П., Горбачева Е.В., Горбунова Е.Н., Гуминиченко Г.Е., Евтеева Е.П., Елисеева Н.П., Еременко И.А., Ефимова Н.В., Жевагина И.А., Жукова У.Н., Запольских Л.Г., Затонский С.А., Зотова Е.В., Иванова В.Е., ИвановаЛ.П., Иволгин Е.М., Игнатова И.В., Калюта В.А., Карандасова Л.М., Карпук В.И., Карташова Л.В., Картина Н.П., Киракозов Д.А., Кириллов Д.А., Колесникова И.Е., Комаров А.А., Котовская Л.И., Кротикова Е.А., Кузнецова Е.А., Кунах Е.А., Куприянова Н.В., Куратникова Е.Н., Курочкина С.Д., Лазанович В.В., Ларионова А.П., Липчанская Т.П., Малахова Е.В., Манафова Н.П., Мангушева А.Р., Мауричева Т.Г., Набоких Н.Б., Николаева И.В., Нимакаева Г.Р.,Новрузова З.М., ОрловА.Г., ОстроушкоН.И.,Пархандеева Т.С., Пасечная Н.А., Пахомова А.Л., Пендюх С.В., Пирогов А.Л., Полякова Т.Ф., Попова О.В., Поспелова Н.В., Разумовский И.Э., Рапацкая М.М., Ревенкова Н.Н., Савельева Н.Ю., Самарина Н.П., Сафронов В.Ю., Свистунова Л.Н., Семухина Е.Н., Синельникова А.Г., Синотова Т.Н., Соколов А.И., Соколова Е.А., Сторчевой А.А., Стрельцова О.В., Стырова Т.К., Тихомирова Ю.И., Ткачева О.М., Фахретдинова Е.Р., Филиппова Э.В., Фрид С.А., ХайлоН.В., ХартоваН.В., Химушкина Е.Ю.,ХомяковаН.Г., Царева Е.Е., ЦветковаЛ.А.,ЧаадаеваМ.И., Чащина О.И., Черныш В.Н.,Шалишев И.Г.,Шатунова И.М.,Шашкова Т.В., Шелехова М.Б., Шиганова Г.М., Шошина И.Н., Шуркевич Н.П., Щербак М.Ф., Щукина Г.И., Ямилова А.Г., Янина Ю.А.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>arterial hypertension</kwd><kwd>valsartan</kwd><kwd>smoking</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Kearney P.M., Whelton M., Reynolds K. et al.
