Abstract

Candesartan is a selective angiotensin II AT1 receptor blocker which is widely used in cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. High cardiovascular mortality is mainly result of heart failure, hypertension and cerebrovascular disease. This review provides present candesartan position in the cardiovascular disease treatment. We focused on candesartan administration in women and we described the anti-inflammatory properties which might broaden the group of patients treated with candesartan in the future
