Abstract

Angiotensin receptor blockers or sartans are used to treat arterial hypertension. Hyperuricemia and arterial hypertension often coexist in patients with metabolic syndrome. Also hyperuricemia is correlated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. There are data suggesting that lowering serum urate may assist in control of arterial hypertension and use of certain drugs for arterial hypertension may reduce the serum uric acid level. The Polish Society of Arterial Hypertension recommends losartan for treatment of arterial hypertension in patients with coexisting hyperuricemia. The aim of the present review was to find evidence supporting the concept of use and explain the role of sartans in treatment of hyperuricemia. Thirty-five original and review articles about hyperuricemia and arterial hypertension focusing on the use of sartans in both these medical conditions were analyzed. In conclusion, sartans should be recommended for treatment of hyperuricemia coexisting with arterial hypertension in patients without bilateral renal artery stenosis and with exclusion of pregnant women.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
