Improvement in hemodynamics of amlodipine besylate combined with metoprolol in patients with hypertension complicated by heart failure

Pak J Pharm Sci. 2023 May;36(3(Special)):909-914.

Abstract

To observe the effect of amlodipine besylate combined with metoprolol in treating hypertension and heart failure. Total number of patients with hypertension combined with HF admitted to our hospital was One hundred and fifty from May 2017 to May 2022 selected for the study and they were distributed into single drug group and combination group by the method of random number table, with the total number of 75 cases in every group. Metoprolol treatment was given to the single drug group and metoprolol combined with amlodipine besylate treatment was given to the combination group. Both groups' scientific outcomes were compared, including their ventricular function, inflammatory factors, hemodynamics and liver and kidney function. Adverse treatment-related side events for patients were also tallied. Compared to the single drug group, the combination group's overall treatment effectiveness was higher (P<0.05). The combined group had better ventricular function, improved hemodynamics and lower levels of inflammatory factors (P<0.05). The liver, kidney function and adverse effects outcomes were the same in both groups (P>0.05). Amlodipine besylate combined with metoprolol has a better clinical effect in treating hypertension combined with heart failure, which can more effectively improve patients' cardiac function, inflammation and hemodynamics.
