Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of the effects of mibefradil and atenolol on regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients.

TL;DR: The reductions in LV hypertrophy and blood pressure achieved with mibefradil were larger but statistically equivalent to those with atenolol, but a lower overall incidence of treatment-related adverse events was seen in the mibfradil-treated patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

A high ankle-brachial index is associated with increased aortic pulse wave velocity: the Czech post-MONICA study

TL;DR: This is the first study showing increased aortic stiffness in individuals with high ABI, presumably responsible for increased left ventricular mass described previously in this group, and these findings suggest increased cardiovascular risk of high A BI individuals.
