Effect of Lisinopril and Atenolol on Aortic Stiffness in Patients on Hemodialysis

[摘要] Background and objectives Whether improvements in arterial compliance with BP lowering are because of BP reduction alone or if pleiotropic effects of antihypertensive agents contribute remains unclear. It was hypothesized that, among patients on hemodialysis, compared with a β-blocker (atenolol), a lisinopril-based therapy will better reduce arterial stiffness.
