Effects of the angiotensin-receptor blocker telmisartan on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients intolerant to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors: a randomised controlled trial
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce major cardiovascular events, but are not
tolerated by about 20% of patients. We therefore assessed whether the angiotensin-receptor blocker telmisartan
would be eff ective in patients intolerant to ACE inhibitors with cardiovascular disease or diabetes with end-organ
damage.
