Key result
Various antihypertensive agents, including prazosin, calcium channel blockers, and ACE inhibitors, can induce regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and improve ventricular function.

May support preferring ACE inhibitors or CCBs over diuretics for LVH regression; leaves open prospective confirmation of coronary reserve effects.
Do various antihypertensive agents induce regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and improve coronary reserve in hypertensive heart disease?
Specific antihypertensive agents, such as ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers, are effective in reversing left ventricular hypertrophy and improving coronary reserve, unlike diuretic monotherapy.
B. E. Strauer (1988) conducted a review in Hypertensive Heart Disease. Antihypertensive agents vs. Diuretic monotherapy (implied comparison) was evaluated on Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. Various antihypertensive agents, including prazosin, calcium channel blockers, and ACE inhibitors, can induce regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and improve ventricular function.
