Excerpt

In this comparative effectiveness review, we examine the scientific literature on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs, or angiotensin receptor blockers) for individuals with hypertension regarding their relative benefits (blood pressure control, cardiovascular risk reduction, cardiovascular events, quality of life, and other outcomes), as well as relative risks (safety, adverse events, tolerability, persistence, and adherence). In addition, we will examine the clinical determinants of these outcomes with a focus on the long-term impact.
