Effect of angiotensin receptor blockade on central haemodynamics in essential hypertension: results of a randomised trial
Objective. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been shown to lower central augmentation index (cAI), an index of arterial wave reflection, more than β-blockers. We tested whether this is also true for long-term treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). Methods. One-hundre...
