Associations of arterial hypertension and the severity of the course of a new coronavirus infection

Discussions continue about the effect of arterial hypertension (AH) on course and prognosis COVID-19 infection, while interest in antihypertensive therapy (AHT), primarily angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) receptor blockers (ARB), disease does not weaken. Aim study was to investigate associations AH, AHT severity coronavirus infection Novosibirsk patients. Material methods. Study design: a single-stage observational study. The included 268 patients aged 26–84 years (47.5 % men) who underwent COVID-19. All anthropometry, echocardiography, anamnesis data were evaluated. Laboratory studies carried out using immunoassay. Results. Patients with AH moderate/severe had higher values glucose, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), left ventricular terms height (LVM/height) than mild course. Diastolic blood pressure significantly less moderate severe chance is 11 an increase BMI by 1 kg/m 2 (1.110, 95 CI 1.042–1.182, p = 0.001), 3.9 cm (1.039, CI, 1.013–1.066, 0.003). Regular use reduced 2.3 times. Conclusions. In glucose levels, WC, BMI, LVL/height are associated more having 11% , cm. With regular AHT, decreased
