[Enalapril and irbesartan in treatment of patients with arterial hypertension]

Abstract

In 68 patients with arterial hypertension a hypotensive effect of enalapril and irbesartan was studied together with the influence these drugs have on circadian rhythms of arterial pressure (AP). Both drug preparations have been shown to exert an apparent antihypertensive effect. However irbesartan is tolerated better by patients and it is capable of reducing high variability of AP.
