Background: Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and losartan, an
angiotensin II receptor blocker, are used for the treatment of hypertension, but their effects …

Background: The cardiac effects simultaneously occurring during experimental hypertension
and diabetes have rarely been investigated. This study aimed at examining the effects of …

Treatment with an angiotensin blocker (ARB) and an aldosterone blocker has been shown
to have beneficial effects on cardiac remodeling in several cardiac diseases. It is still not …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiac structure of spontaneously hypertensive
rats (SHRs) treated with different doses of spironolactone. Twenty SHRs were separated into …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors reduce blood pressure and attenuate cardiac and
vascular remodeling in hypertension. However, the kinetics of remodeling after …

In this study, we investigated the effects of salt loading on sympathetic pressor activity,
cardiac autonomic activity, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and on the …

The purpose of the current study was to determine if early, short-term treatment of
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with captopril would cause a persistent attenuation …

Objective To quantify the structural myocardial response when chronic NO blockade
hypertension is treated with antihypertensive drugs. Study design Four groups of 10 male …

The purpose of this study was to analyze by echocardiogram left ventricular (LV) geometry in
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Echocardiographic study, systolic blood pressure …

This study was designed to investigate the effect of 4 weeks of captopril treatment on cardiac
mass and performance in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Left (LV) and right (RV) …
