Blood pressure reduction in hypertensive patients is a surrogate for the real therapeutic goal
of reducing the risks consequent to hypertension. This surrogate is convenient but its use …

1. The effects of acute and chronic treatment with cilazapril, a new ACE inhibitor, on

This review provides a brief summary of molecular and pathophysiological events involved
in the development and reversal of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH). Data …

Angtotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and calcium antagonists are important
classes of antihypertensive agents. Within their respective classes, ACE inhibitors and …

In hypertensive patients, the development of left ventricular hypertrophy seems to increase
the risk of cardiovascular death although some antihypertensive agents have been …

Systemic hypertension is a disease manifested by a persistently elevated arterial pressure
produced by an increased total peripheral resistance, which is more or less uniformly …

Despite improved patient detection and pharmacologic therapy, the effect of treatment of
hypertension on mortality from coronary artery-related events remains unresolved. Left …

Blood velocity waveforms in peripheral arteries vary such that decreasing vascular
