losartan and Esophageal Varices

losartan has been researched along with Esophageal Varices in 3 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We performed a longitudinal study that included 23 consecutive patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices who received 25 mg/day of losartan during 12 wk."3.73A1166C angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene polymorphism may predict hemodynamic response to losartan in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
