Sažetak
The application of angiotensin receptor blockers (AT1) in cardiovascular prevention is based on the treatment of arterial hypertension. Telmisartan, a medication from the sartan group, has not only an antihypertensive effect but proven pleiotropic, metabolic, biohumoral, antiproliferative, and vascular effects – the basic processes of vascular aging as well as the progression of atherosclerosis, a disease with a high mortality that requires early risk recognition and comprehensive primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention. Based on scientific evidence, telmisartan has been proven to provide a well tolerated antihypertensive effect over 24 hours, and is indicated in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
