Angiotensin receptor blocker neprilysin inhibitors. [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome that results from a structural or functional cardiac disorder that reduces the ability of the ventricle of the heart to fill with, or eject, blood. It is a multifaceted clinical condition that affects up to 2% of the population in the developed world, and is linked to significant morbidity and mortality; it is ...

Angiotensin Ii Receptor Blockers [PDF]
The ARBs have very similar clinical profiles. They do, however, have different pharmacokinetic profiles, which may lead to some differences in efficacy. The newer agents irbesartan, candesartan, telmisartan, and olmesartan have longer half-lives and durations of action than the older agents losartan and valsartan (5).
