Addition of aliskiren to an ACE inhibitor (or angiotensin receptor blocker) and beta-blocker had favorable neurohumoral effects in heart failure and appeared to be well tolerated.
Aliskiren provides significant antihypertensive efficacy in patients with hypertension, with no rebound effects on blood pressure after treatment withdrawal.
Aliskiren-based therapy was well tolerated and produced sustained blood pressure reductions in patients with hypertension over 6 months, greater than those with ramipril-based therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
