Losartan Could Offer New Cardiovascular Benefit Beyond Blood-Pressure Control (pp 990, 999, 1004)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the potential of the angiotensin-II type-1 receptor antagonist losartan to be more effective than ß-blockers in reducing cardiovascular complications associated with high blood pressure. Blood-pressure reduction achieved with ß -blockers and diuretics is the best form of treatment for... view more... (2002-03-20)
