  • Title: [Comparison of angiotensin receptor antagonists and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in arterial hypertension].
    Author: Krezsinski JM, Sternon J.
    Journal: Rev Med Brux; 2000 Jun; 21(3):170-7. PubMed ID: 10925600.
    Abstract:
    By blocking the renin-angiotensin system, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and more recently introduced angiotensin II receptor antagonists are two important classes of antihypertensive drugs. Whether one class is superior to the other is presently unknown. Their antihypertensive efficacy is comparable. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are particularly well tolerated but the converting enzyme inhibitors have broader indications. The results of the large studies with morbidity and mortality end-points are awaited to better define the place of the angiotensin II antagonists in monotherapy and in combination.
