Background: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of losartan and enalapril on arterial blood pressure and left ventricular mass and selected parameters of its function in patients with hypertension. Material and methods Examinations were performed in 61 subjects (43 men and 18 women) aged 37–70 years (mean 56,8 ± 8). Losartan was applied in 31 subjects in a dose 50 mg/24 h, while enalapril in 30 subjects in a dose 10–20 mg/24 h for 12 months. 17 subjects on losartan and 18 on enalapril had left ventricular hypertrophy. Arterial pressure measurements and echocardiography were performed before and after 1, 3, 9 and 12 months of treatment. Results: In the initial period of the therapy greater hypotensive effect was...
