Since angiotensin II is one of the most potent vasoconstrictors and
an important stimulus for the secretion of aldosterone from the
adrenal gland, the development of of angiotensin II inhibitors is
an important step in regulating blood pressure. This class of drug
is well-tolerated by pateints and these drugs have the added
advantage over ACE inhibitors in that they are not associated with
cough. Because most drugs can be given once daily and, like ACEIs,
they have a useful additive hypotensive effect in combination with
diuretics, they are a welcome therapeutic tool in the treatment of
hypertension. This Second Edition builds on the success of the
first and brings to the reader all the latest developments,
clinical trial data, and the contributors's personal perspectives
when treating patients with angiotensin II receptors antagonists.
-offers chapters by well-known contributors in the fields of both
hypertension and heart failure, especially with regard to
pharmacological interventions -covers the new role of AIIR in
neuroprotection -builds upon the strengths of the first edition
