Background to analyze the influence of quinapril on aortic PWV, whole blood viscosity (WBV), shear stress in the ascending aorta (AA) and in the common carotid artery (CCA), prometaloproteinase-1 (proMMP-1) and its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-1) plasma concentration in patients with essential arterial hypertension (HT). Material and methods 55 patients, aged 52.8 ± 13.8 yrs. with HT 1 and 2 st. were treated with quinapril 10 mg/d. If BP was above 140/90 mmHg the dose of quinapril was increased up to 40 mg/d. at 3 month visit. At baseline and then after 3 and 6 months of treatment PWV, WBV, proMMP-1 and TIMP-1 were determined. Shear stress in AA and (CCA) was calculated from WBV, internal vessel diameter and blood flow velocity (Vmax) measur...
