CONCLUSIONS • ARBs (telmisartan) have demonstrated to be as efficacious as ACE-Is in patients at high cardiovascular risk without LV dysfunction, and in patients with post-ischemic (valsartan) and chronic LV systolic dysfunction (valsartan, candesartan) • ARBs (candesartan, irbesartan) have not demonstrated to be efficacious in patients with LV diastolic dysfunction, similarly to ACE-Is • ARBs (losartan, valsartan, irbesartan) have demonstrated to provide renal protection in patients with pre-clinical and clinical diabetic nephropathy • ARBs (candesartan) have demonstrated to induce retinopathy regression in type II diabetics (but needs confirmation) • Dual RAS blockade was ineffective and potentially harmful in patients without LV dysfunction and this association should be used with caution and strict surveillance of renal function • Dual RAS blockade (valsartan, candesartan) reduces mortality/morbidity in patients with chronic LV systolic dysfunction
