A more recent meta-analysis evaluating the effect of different classes of antihypertensive agent on LVH regression included trials with angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).1
In this analysis, ARBs and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors produced similar reductions in LVMI, and both ARBs and ACE inhibitors were significantly superior to beta-blockers in inducing LVH regression.
