Abstract

Angiotensin receptor AT1 antagonist are one of the five main hypotensive drugs. In has been proven that telmisartan effectively reduce global cardiovascular risk in patient with high cardiovascular risk at baseline. Recently the are more and more studies show potential metabolic effects of telmisartan. In this article we review the most important studies of telmisartan – classic studies like ONTARGET and new one, concern its metabolic potential effects.
