Results from the Losartan Heart Failure Survival or ELITE II (Evaluation of Losartan in the Elderly II) study indicate that there was no statistically significant difference between losartan and captopril in reducing overall deaths or in reducing sudden cardiac death and/or resuscitated cardiac arrest ...
well designed LIFE (Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension) study in patients with hypertension and LVH, losartan was more effective than atenolol in reducing the composite primary endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) mortality, stroke or myocardial ...
Credit: CC0 Public Domain University of Minnesota Medical School researchers determined that the common blood pressure medication, losartan, is not effective in reducing hospitalization for mildly-ill COVID-19 outpatients. In the multicenter, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial, non-hospitalized pat...
The aim of current study was to assess the effectiveness of losartan 50 mg in reducing blood pressure among post-dialysis euvolemic hypertensive patients, observing their survival trends and adverse events during the course of study. A multicentre, prospective, randomised, single-blind trial was co...
Losartan controlled blood pressure and reduced left ventricular hypertrophy but did not alter ar- rhythmias in hypertensive men with preserved sys- tolic function. Angiology 2005;56(4):439-49.Zakynthinos E, Pierrutsakos Ch, Daniil Z, Papadogiannis D. Losartan- controlled blood pressure and ...
Losartan potassium was effective in reducing blood pressure regardless of race, although the effect was somewhat less in Black patients (usually a low-renin population). Pediatric Hypertension The antihypertensive effect of losartan was studied in one trial enrolling 177 hypertensive pediatric patients ...
However, the arrhythmias did not change in either group of patients, even if all hypertensives were considered as 1 group. In conclusion, an 8-month course with losartan was effective in lowering BP and reducing LVH. However, the increased arrhythmias, which were registered in hypertensive ...
The fixed-dose combination of losartan/HCTZ was effective in patients with essential hypertension in another three trials, reducing trough sitting systolic BP (SiSBP)/sitting diastolic BP (SiDBP) to a significantly greater extent than placebo or losartan monotherapy, and achieving significantly higher ...
Does walking lower blood pressure immediately? Exercise lowers blood pressure by reducing blood vessel stiffness so blood can flow more easily. The effects of exerciseare most noticeable during and immediately after a workout. Lowered blood pressure can be most significant right after you work out....
pressure, and patients with primary open-angle glaucoma with and without hypertension—a single oral dose of losartan 50mg produced a drop in intraocular pressure in all subjects within 2–6 hours after drug intake, proportional to baseline eye pressure [1]. Blood pressure fell only in the ...
