Abstract

Aim The study is to observe the clinical efficacy of losartan in hypertentive patientswith left ventricular hypertrophy. Methods 21 case were given losartan for 20 wk and 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and color doppler echocardiography were per-formed in the patients before and after treatment.Results The 24 h SBP, 24 h DBP,dDBP, nSBP were from (151 ? 15) 、(93 ?9)、(155 ? 15)、(96 ? 10)、(146 ? 16)、(88 ? 11)mmHg before treatment to (132 ? 11)、(82 ? 8)、(137 ? 12)、(88 ? 9)、(120 ? 9)、(120 ? 15)、(74 ? 9) mmHg after treatment respectively and the IVST, PWT and LVMI were from(14.2 ? 1 .5) mm、(13. 9 ? 1. 45) mm、(152. 1 ? 24. 2) g? m2-1 BSA before treatment to(12. 1 ? 1. 31) mm、 (12. 2 ? 1. 41) mm、(130. 6 ? 23. 1) g? m2-1 BSA after treatment re-spectively. All the parameters after treatment in the patients were significantly decreased ascompared with those before treatment (P
