The amount of analysis done on the comparison of the safety and efficacy or ARBs versus ACE inhibitors for treatment of hypertension is impressive and was recently comprehensively reviewed in this article (Why Are We Still Prescribing ACE Inhibitors? (medscape.com) in Circulation.ARBs are the clear winners . Over 30 years ago I decided to prescribe ARBs for myself and patients rather than ACE inhibitors and am pleased to see validation for that decision made on the basis of much less evidence than is now available.
