Results

Patients with LVH who had received the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) for 8 weeks and had not reached the target blood pressure level were enrolled. Patients were assigned to either losartan (50 mg)/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, 12.5 mg) group or ARB + CCB group (usual dose of ARB and calcium channel blocker, CCB). After 48 weeks, LV mass index was found to be reduced significantly in the losartan/HCTZ group but not in the ARB + CCB group.

Baseline Characteristics

Hypertensive patients aged 20-80 years with left ventricular hypertrophy who have been taking angiotensin receptor blockers for more than 8 weeks but have not reached their target blood pressure

Participant flow

These patients were divided into two groups, a losartan 50 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg group and an angiotensin receptor blocker normal dose + Ca channel blocker group, and the presence or absence of regression of left ventricular hypertrophy was examined 48 weeks later.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

After 48 weeks, LV mass index was found to be reduced significantly in the losartan/HCTZ group but not in the ARB + CCB group. These results suggest that combination therapy of an ARB and diuretic has greater potential to cause regression compared with an ARB and CCB.
