Abstract

The activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, therefore RAAS blockade has been suggested to be the most efficient cardioprotective interventions. Telmisartan is favorable for the treatment of patients with hypertension in monotherapy and is also a safe combination with amlodipine or hydrochlorothiazide. Moreover, telmisartan can decrease fasting blood glucose, lower LDL cholesterol, and increase HDL.
