Summary
Eplerenone is a selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. Its approved for the therapy of patients with chronic heart
failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and for the patients after myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure
and left ventricular dysfunction. It´s also recommended for the therapy of primary hyperaldosteronism and the treatment of
drug resistant hypertension.
Keywords:
Resistant hypertension – heart failure – eplerenone – mineralocorticoid receptors – hyperaldosteronism
