Left ventricular hypertrophy and renin-angiotensin system blockade
Current Hypertension Reports, 05/21/09
Cowan BR et al. - Regression of left ventricular mass is also achieved by other medication classes, but the RAS blockers have an additional beneficial effect for the same blood pressure reduction, for which the mechanism is not entirely clear. Studies comparing the efficacy of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors versus angiotensin receptor blockers to achieve LVH regression have not demonstrated any clear benefit of one class over the other.
