    Notes: Summary The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor captopril proved to be an effective antihypertensive drug during a 5-year follow-up study of patients with severe hypertension who had been resistant to a triple-drug regimen. Of the 42 patients, 41 had to be treated additionally with diuretics. Because of hypokalemia, potassium supplements were necessary in 26 patients, despite the use of “potassium-saving” diuretics in 12 patients. Blood pressure was controlled sufficiently in 3/4 of the patients during the 5 years. Patients with a large elevation in plasma renin activity showed the best response to the treatment. Six patients died during the 5 years. Therapy had to be stopped in 11 patients because of complications. The following complications and adverse effects were observed: cerebral ischemia (n=10), vertigo and orthostasis (10), exanthema (9), hypogeusia (7), circulatory failure (7), myocardial infarction (6), and scintigraphically demonstrable decrease of renal perfusion (5). One patient with bilateral renal artery stenosis suffered from acute renal failure, which was reversible after withdrawal of captopril. Significant changes of red and white blood cell counts, transaminases, lipids, urine protein excretion, and heart rate were not observed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 32 Patienten mit schwerer, therapieresistenter Hypertonie wurden unter der antihypertensive Therapie mit dem Angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitor Captopril systematische Blutgerinnungsuntersuchungen durchgeführt. Bereits 2 h nach Therapiebeginn kam es zu einem Anstieg von Fibrinmonomerkomplexen, der nach 26 h und nach 1 Woche noch ausgeprägter war. Bei Kontrolluntersuchungen nach 6 bzw. 12 Monaten waren die Fibrinmonomere wieder weitgehend normalisiert. Bei einigen Patienten mit deutlichem Fibrinmonomeranstieg verkürzte sich zeitweise auch die PTT. Zusätzlich fand sich ein Anstieg der Antiplasminaktivität. Zu dem deutlichsten Anstieg der Fibrinmonomere kam es vor allem bei schneller und ausgeprägter Blutdrucksenkung. Bei 15 gesunden Normalpersonen stiegen ebenfalls die Fibrinmonomere nach einer einmaligen Captoprildosis von 25 mg an. Zusätzlich verkürzte sich die PTT und das Antiplasmin stieg an. Mit Fibrinplatten und der Bestimmung von Thrombengewichten konnte durch Captopril eine Hemmung der Fibrinolyse nachgewiesen werden. Sieben von 58 Patienten mit schwerer Hyptertonie und Atherosklerose erlitten unter der Captopriltherapie schwere vaskuläre Komplikationen: Myokardinfarkt (n=2), coronare Insuffizienz (1), cerebrale Ischämie (1), zunehmende Niereninsuffizienz (3). Durch die gefundenen Blutgerinnungsveränderungen könnten diese Komplikationen bei Patienten mit schwerer Hypertonie begünstigt sein.
    Notes: Summary Systematic blood coagulation analyses were conducted in 32 severely hypertensive patients treated with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril. Two hours after the first captopril dose, fibrin monomer complexes had already increased. This rise was even more distinct after 26 h and 1 week. Tests after 6 and 12 months of therapy showed a regression of fibrin monomer complexes to pretreatment values. In several patients with a marked increase in fibrin monomer complexes, the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) became shorter and antiplasmin activity increased. The most pronounced increase in fibrin monomer complexes was seen in patients with a rapid and excessive blood pressure reduction. The concentration of fibrin monomer complexes also rose in 15 healthy normotensive subjects, after a single oral dose of captopril (25 mg). Additionally, the PTT was shortened and antiplasmin significantly rose. An inhibition of fibrinolysis by captopril could be demonstrated by the effect on fibrin plates and thrombus weight after streptokinase. Out of 58 patients with severe hypertension and atherosclerosis treated with captopril, 7 patients suffered vascular complications during antihypertensive therapy: myocardial infarction (n=2), coronary insufficiency (1), cerebral ischemia (1), renal insufficiency (3). These ischemic lesions may be partly explained by the alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis under captopril therapy.
