Does not support clinical adoption; extends preclinical evidence for ACEI/ARB synergy in hypertension models.
Does the combination of losartan and captopril reduce blood pressure more than monotherapy in spontaneous hypertensive rats?
In a hypertensive rat model, combining an ACE inhibitor and an AT1 blocker lowers blood pressure more effectively than either drug alone, with synergistic effects at low doses.
Trefor Morgan (2002) studied this question.
