Objectives

Narrative objectives1

AT1 receptor blockers (ARBs) are known to improve glucose and lipid metabolism, and preserve renal and heart function, but there are few reports that compare clinical differences in these effects among multiple ARBs. The aim of this study is to compare effects of 5 ARBs (losartan, telmisartan, candesartan, valsartan, and olmesartan) on blood pressure, glucose and lipid metabolism, renal and heart function, and inflammation markers in patients with hypertension.
