COPD duration was 10.5±3.5 years, hypertension duration was 14.3±7.4 years. All patients were received indapamide SR 1.5 mg/day for 3 months. Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring, spirometry and bodyplethysmography, serum potassium levels, respiratory symptoms (cough, sputum production, dyspnea severity) by CAT and MRC were assessed at baseline and after 3 month of treatment.Results: After 3 months of treatment it was noted: daily pattern of BP normalization (n=26), decreasing of the average diastolic BP at night-time (92.3±7.4 vs 71.4±3.8 mm Hg), decreasing of the average systolic (56.4±29.4 vs 30.4±21.5%) and diastolic (47.2±23.5 vs 31.6±21.7%) BP load at night-time, decreasing of the average night-time systolic BP variability (12.9±3.7 vs 9.5±2.5 mm Hg), p <0.05 for all. During all treatment period it wasn't revealed any significant changes in spirometry, bodyplethysmography parameters and plasma potassium levels.Conclusions: Using of indapamide SR in complex therapy of COPD and concomitant hypertension is efficacy and safety antihypertensive treatment that doesn't affect the existing hyperinflation and electrolytes balance.
