Effects of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blocker on Blood Pressure Variability and Cardiovascular Remodeling in Hypertensive Patients on Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

ARB treatment and control antihypertensive treatment similarly controlled 24-hour ambulatory BP values in hypertensive patients on peritoneal dialysis. However, ARB treatment is beneficial for the suppression of pathological cardiovascular remodeling with a decrease in BP variability.
