Why the study?
Does amlodipine compared to lisinopril improve left ventricular mass and diastolic function in elderly, previously untreated hypertensive patients?
Does amlodipine compared to lisinopril improve left ventricular mass and diastolic function in elderly, previously untreated hypertensive patients?
Amlodipine and lisinopril are equally effective in reducing left ventricular mass and improving diastolic function in elderly patients with newly diagnosed hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Either agent suits initial therapy in elderly hypertensives; confirms comparable LV mass regression and diastolic effects in this RCT.
Terpstra et al. (2001) studied this question.
