ESC Congress 2004: First long-term comparative study of an ARB and an ACE inhibitor in patient with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and early nephropathy
Results from the first long-term comparative study of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and an ACE inhibitor in patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and early nephropathy were presented today.1 The five year DETAIL (Diabetics Exposed to Telmisartan And enalaprIL) study showed that telmisartan provides comparable renoprotective effects... view more...

High Blood Pressure Easy to Miss in Children with Kidney Disease
Spot blood pressure readings in children with chronic kidney disease often fail to detect hypertension - even during doctor's office visits - increasing a child's risk for serious heart problems, according to research from Johns Hopkins Children's Center and other institutions. A report of the findings appears online in the Journal of American... view more... (2009-11-23)
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)

Researchers uncover genetic clues to blood pressure
An international research team has identified a number of unsuspected genetic variants associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and hypertension (high blood pressure), suggesting potential avenues of investigation for the prevention or treatment of hypertension. view more (2009-05-11)
How Much Hypertension Can Be Affected By Daytime Stress?
A group of Italian investigators led by Drs Francesco Fallo (Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Padova) and Dr Nicoletta Sonino (Department of Mental Health, Padova) explores a neglected issue: the relationship between daytime stress and the physiological lowering of blood pressure which should occur during sleep (dipping).... view more...
