Goal of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of amlodipine with enalaprile in case of patients with moderate essential arterial hypertension. Study involved 40 patients with hypertension, 22 males and 18 females, age 39-80 years. Diastolic blood pressure was from 100-120 mmHg. Patients were for two weeks without any therapy and after that were divided into two groups of 20, fortherapy with amlodipine or enalaprile. The patients received 5-10 mg of amlodipine or enalaprile once daily. Initial blood pressure, before therapy was similar in groups, 173.00/108.00 mmHg and 175.25/106.75 mmHg (mean value). After four weeks on treatment the BP was reduced in both groups, in group on amlodipine from 173.00/108.00 to 129.75/78.50 mmHg (mean value), and in the group on enalaprile from 175.25/106.75 to 133.50/81.50 mmHg. Patients did not report any side effects in either of the groups. We prove that one day therapy with small doses, 5-10 mg of amlodipine, new calcium channels blocker and enalaprile, ACE inhibitor were efficient and safe in therapy of the essential hypertension. We found that amlodipine was somewhat more efficient than enalaprile in lowering the blood pressure.
