Abstract

According to the 2007 ESH/ESC guidelines, 2009 reappraisal, also in current Polish Society of Hypertension guidelines, angiotensin II receptor blockers are regarded as a one of the main groups of antihypertensive drugs. Many studies have shown that angiotensin II receptor blockers have a favorable effect on the metabolic profile, vascular changes as well as on renal function. In recent years the emphasis in the treatment of hypertension has been on the individualization of treatment. The article discusses the role of angiotensin II receptor blockers in the treatment of hypertension paying attention to conditions favouring use of this group of drugs.
