Key result
Torasemide is an effective antihypertensive agent that is particularly beneficial for postmenopausal women with low-renin hypertension, without causing significant adverse metabolic effects.
Torasemide is highlighted as an effective, metabolically neutral antihypertensive option that is particularly suited for postmenopausal women with low-renin hypertension.
Supports torasemide consideration in postmenopausal low-renin hypertension; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.
Effective and safe diuretic torasemide has additional effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockage. Torasemide can be used as monotherapy or combined with other antihypertensives. In low doses torasemide produces pronounced antihypertensive effect without augmentation of excretion of potassium and water with urine. Long-term administration of torasemide was not associated with significant effects on lipid, purine, carbohydrate, or electrolyte metabolism parameters. Torasemide particularly effective in postmenopausal women, as these women are more likely formed low-renin hypertension. Therefore, torasemide can be used more widely in modern clinical practice.
