Optimal antihypertensive therapy should control blood pressure at rest and during stress
while preserving the physiologic hemodynamic response. In patients with mild to moderate …

This paper reviews the haemodynamic effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
inhibitors in hypertension, focusing on their ability to cause a fall in systemic vascular …

Systemic and renal hemodynamics were studied by invasive and noninvasive techniques in
30 patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension before and after antihypertensive …

To assess the anti-anginal and anti-ischaemic efficacy of the ACE-inhibitor enalapril in
normotensive coronary patients, a double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled study was …

Usually cardiac adaptation to a sustained increase in arterial pressure results in left
ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). LVH is not merely a physiologic adaptive process serving to …

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

SUMMARY A study was designed to clarify the effects of captopril(CAP) or
nitrendipine(NITR) on cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular expression of the laminin B2 …

1. There is recent experimental evidence that the renin‐angiotensin‐system may play an
essential role in producing splanchnic vasoconstriction. However, controversy exists as to …

The natural course of essential hypertensive renal disease is characterized by a slowly
progressive impairment of renal function. Initially, the changes are functional and reversible; …

OBJECTIVE: To review the existing data on the use of diuretics or beta-blockers as first-line
therapy for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension, and to examine the issues …
