Abstract

Highlights. The review synthesizes the results of clinical studies on the use of sartans. This topic is highly relevant due to the antihypertensive, metabolic and organ-protective effect of sartans, which can positively affect the course of coronary atherosclerosis.Abstract. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (sartans) are widely used to treat cardiovascular diseases. This class of drugs has antihypertensive and metabolic effects and organ-protective capabilities. Currently, sartans are of high interest due to their pleiotropic effect: improved lipid metabolism, antidiabetogenic action, nephroprotection, and, as a result, reduced total cardiovascular risk. The article presents an overview of clinical data on the use of sartans in patients with ischemic heart disease, the mechanisms of organ-protective effects and prospects of using this class of drugs for total cardiovascular risk reduction. The following data sources were used: e-Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, trialbulletin.com, smartpatients.com, BioPortfolio.com.
