Clinical effects of eplerenone, a selective aldosterone blocker, in Japanese patients with essential hypertension
Journal of Human Hypertension, 11/04/09
Sato A et al. - There were no significant correlations between plasma renin activity or plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) before eplerenone treatment and blood pressure after eplerenone treatment, showing that the antihypertensive effect of eplerenone is not affected by the patient's renin profile or pretreatment PAC values. Eplerenone was also effective in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome. In conclusion, eplerenone, when coadministered with an ACE inhibitor or a long-acting CCB, caused an extremely beneficial antihypertensive effect in Japanese patients with essential hypertension, without few clinically important adverse events.
