Comparison of medium-dose losartan/hydrochlorothiazide and maximal-dose angiotensin II receptor blockers in the treatment of Japanese patients with uncontrolled hypertension: the Kobe-CONNECT Study
Hypertension Research, 07/16/2012
Toh R et al. – Declines in plasma N–terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide levels and urinary albumin excretion were observed in the losartan/HCTZ group, but not in the maximal–dose ARB group. Switching from medium–dose ARBs to losartan plus HCTZ reduced both office and home BP efficiently in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
