The study covered influence of Isradipine (2.5 mg administered twice daily during 6 weeks) on blood circulation in the heart and occupationally important functions and traits among 30 drivers having mild and moderate arterial hypertension (AH). Systolic and diastolic pressure demonstrate reliable decrease in all the examinees with mild AH and in 93.8% of the examinees with moderate AH. Isradipine proved to influence positively decrease of hypertensive reactions and subclinical myocardial ischemia. Isradipine presented statistically significant improvement of the studied psychophysiologic parameters (quickness of latent and motor visual reaction, number of errors in color choice, exactness in following the mobile object). Thus, all above enables to recommend Isradipine (Lomir) as effective and safe method correcting arterial hypertension in drivers.
