Effects of L-/N-Type Calcium Channel Blockers on Angiotensin II–Renin Feedback in Hypertensive Patients

Objectives. Cilnidipine, an L-/N-type calcium channel blocker (CCB), has unique organ-protective properties due to suppression of hyperactivity in the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin system (RAS). In this study, we hypothesized that cilnidipine might exert a renoprotective effect by...
