Summary

Angiotensin receptor antagonists (AT₁-blockers) are considered as one of the major classes of antihypertensive drugs suitable for monotherapy as well as for combination treatment. AT₁-blockers have comparable antihypertensive efficacy with other major classes of antihypertensive drugs. AT₁-blockers are considered by current guidelines of Czech society of hypertension altogether with ACE-inhibitors and calcium channel blockers as universal antihypertensive drug class. AT₁-blockers has the lowest profile of side-effects among all antihypertensive drug classes and thus very high persistence to therapy. Mechanisms of antihypertensive effects of AT₁-blockers are discussed altogether with the results of large clinical trials and indications in the treatment of hypertension.

Key words:
AT₁-blockers – hypertension – treatment
