Losartan in postmenopausal women with essential arterial hypertension by O. N. Tkacheva, A. V. Barabashkina, I. M. Novikova, N. V. Sharashkina

“…In postmenopausal women with AH, adding losartan to the AHT scheme demonstrated good antihypertensive effectiveness, insulin sensitivity normalization, endothelial function and lipid profile improvement. Among women receiving AHT and HRT, antihypertensive effect, as well as beneficial effects on endothelial function and lipid profile, was greater than in women receiving AHT only.…”
