title: [Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertension. Part III. Reversibility of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy During Treatment With Antihypertensive Drugs].
abstract: Results of prospective trials of effects of various antihypertensive drugs on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertensive disease are reviewed. According to 2 meta-analyses angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors are most effective inducers of regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. However in comparative randomized trials in patients with hypertension ability of diuretics, lipophilic beta-adrenoblockers, long-acting calcium antagonists, and angiotensin receptor blockers to cause regression of left ventricular hypertrophy was not inferior to that of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.
