Description : The angiotensin-II–receptor blocker irbesartan is effective in protecting against
the progression of nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes. This protection is independent of the
reduction in blood pressure it causes-
New England J Med 2001; 345:851-860. There is some
evidence that irbesartan provides protective cardiovascular effects beyond its antihypertensive
action. This is particularly true for its beneficial effects on slowing the progression of early-stage
and late-stage renal disease in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes and on promoting
regression of left ventricular mass in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Recent research has further highlighted the positive role of irbesartan in preventing recurrence
of arrhythmia in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, when added to classical antiarrhythmic
therapy. Finally, some data suggest an additional benefit in cardiac disease, through a reduction
in the risk of heart failure episodes, as observed with other angiotensin receptor blockers-
