    Abstract:
    In this review angiotensin II receptor antagonists (Angiotensin antagonists are discussed on the efficacy and safety in the treatment of essential hypertension. Angiotensin antagonists are more complete renin angiotensin system blockade, and are potent as ACE inhibitors, but they have rarely troublesome dry cough specific to ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin antagonists have demonstrated an excellent tolerability profile. Angiotensin antagonists will have potentially greater protection from end-organ damage, since they have provided end-organ protection in animal experiments. These agents will be considered for first-line therapies in very near future.
