Selective Angiotensin Receptor Antagonism with Valsartan Decreases Arterial Stiffness Independently of Blood Pressure Lowering in Hypertensive Patients
Abstract
Angiotensin II plays a key role in the development of vascular disease. We examined the long-term effects of selective angiotensin II receptor (ATR) blockade with valsartan on arterial wall stiffness. Brachial to ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured in 28 women and 25 men with hypertension (mean age: 62+/-2 years). The measurements were repeated after 24 weeks of treatment with valsartan, 40 to 160 mg/day, with (n=10) or without (n=36)...
