The effect of an 8-week monotherapy with propranolol and pratsiol on plasma lipid levels and apo-Al and apo-B, apoproteins of high- and low-density lipoproteins (HDLP, LDLP) was studied in 20 patients with second-stage essential hypertension. Propranolol caused no significant changes in plasma lipid spectrum, however it produced a significant rise in apo-Al levels and reduced the cholesterol load index per weight unit of apo-Al in HDLP particles. Pratsiol treatment caused a significant reduction in plasma triglycerides, cholesterol of very-low-density lipoproteins, the cholesterol atherogenic coefficient and the apo-B/apo-Al ratio, and raised the level of HDLP cholesterol. The findings suggest that plasma lipoprotein effects should be taken into account in the choice of hypotensive agents.

Hypertensive patients with hyperlipidemia are at high risk to develop coronary heart disease (CHD). Chemotherapeutic correction of hyperlipidemia seems most reliable modality to prevent CHD. Hypolipidemic effect and tolerance of leskol (fluvastatin) in dietotherapy-resistant hypercholesterolemia were studied in 74 patients with essential hypertension treated with hypotensive drugs. The patients were included in a multicenter trial. A 12-week course reduced total cholesterol level under 6.2 mmol/l in 59% of the patients, under 5.2 mmol/l in 29% of them. LDLP cholesterol lowered to 3.5% in 34% of the patients. Mean apo B diminished by 23%. There was a 27% decrease in the proportion of atherogenic fraction apo B to antiatherogenic fraction of transport proteins apo A-I. Leskol is well tolerated and effective against hypercholesterolemia, it is safe in relation to side effects and blood biochemistry.
