Does clinical antihypertensive therapy reduce myocardial interstitial collagen content in hypertensive patients?
Antihypertensive therapy may reverse reactive interstitial fibrosis and regress myocardial interstitial collagen content in hypertensive heart disease.
Motz et al. (1995) conducted a review in Hypertensive heart disease. Clinical antihypertensive therapy was evaluated on Regression of myocardial interstitial collagen content. Clinical antihypertensive therapy over a period of 9-12 months can regress myocardial interstitial collagen content in some hypertensive patients.
