Objective: Evaluation of the capability of a fixed combination of lisinopril + amlodipine + rosuvastatin (ECWAMER) in achieving additional angioprotection in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and high pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients after confirmed COVID-19 had 75 – 95% lung involvement, complicated by bilateral polysegmental viral pneumonia, with genetically engineered biological drugs (GIBD) therapy, who had not previously received combined antihypertensive therapy (AHT). Design and method: An open-label observational study with a duration of 12 weeks has been carried out. 30 patients who not previously received combined AHT was included. Patients underwent daily monitoring of blood pressure (ABPM), applanation tonometry (determination of the augmentation index (IA) and central blood pressure (CSAD)), measurement of PWV, laboratory tests (lipid composition of blood, fasting glucose, C-reactive protein - CRP, OAC, ferritin, fibrinogen, D-dimer, ALT, AST, creatinine, uric acid) before and after prescribing a fixed combination of lisinopril + amlodipine + rosuvastatin (ECVAMER). Results: At baseline, the patients had an increase in office blood pressure to 152.6 / 89.1 mm Hg. After prescribing a fixed combination of lisinopril + amlodipine + rosuvastatin, there was a decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 15.8% and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 12.2%. According to ABPM data, the decrease in SBP was 15% and DBP - 9%, decreased PWV by 23.8%, IA by 9%, CSAP by 12.4% (p < 0.05 for all comparisons with the baseline value). Vascular age (SV) was initially increased to 41.9 years with a passport age of 35.03 years. After the end of therapy, there was a significant decrease in CO up to 36.5 years, LDL by 46.8%, triglycerides by 16.8% and an increase in HDL by 10.7% (p < 0.05 for all comparisons with the baseline value). In addition, the levels of CRP, fibrinogen, D-dimer, glucose, and uric acid significantly decreased. Conclusions: The fixed combination of lisinopril + amlodipine + rosuvastatin provides better blood pressure control, improved vascular elasticity, and also improves lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in patients, reduces inflammation in patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia after suffering from severe and extremely severe COVID-19.
