Reduction of resistance artery stiffness by treatment with the AT1-receptor antagonist losartan in essential hypertension
In spontaneously hypertensive rats resistance artery structure, endothelial dysfunction and geometry-independent wall stiffness were reduced by an angiotensin AT 1 -receptor antagonist. In previous studies of human hypertension, interruption of the renin-angiotensin system corrected small artery str...
