Description
Summary:<p>Only few hypertensive patients are treated effectively despite of the variety of antihypertensive drugs. There is a linear relationship between blood pressure levels and the risk of complications (myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic heart and renal failure). Angiotensin receptor blockers are the first-line drugs for initial therapy of uncomplicated hypertension. Irbesartan is one of the most studied angiotensin receptor blockers.
