Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Fifty-four patients were randomly divided into irbesartan and olmesartan groups. Blood pressure (BP) was significantly decreased in all patients at 12 weeks. In particular, BP in patients who initially received irbesartan showed significant reductions. The equality of variance of BP in the irbesartan group was significantly smaller than that in the olmesartan group at 12 weeks. Blood concentrations of adiponectin were significantly increased in the irbesartan group at 12 weeks. Log [pentraxin-3] in the irbesartan group were significantly decreased. In conclusion, the ability of irbesartan to reduce BP is comparable to that of olmesartan with equivalent safety.
