losartan and Sclerosis

losartan has been researched along with Sclerosis in 4 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

Sclerosis: A pathological process consisting of hardening or fibrosis of an anatomical structure, often a vessel or a nerve.

"Neither losartan- nor atenolol-based antihypertensive regimens could prevent the progression of aortic valve (AV) sclerosis in elderly, high-risk hypertensive patients, and the regression of AV sclerosis did not translate into reduced cardiovascular risk."9.11Effect of losartan versus atenolol on aortic valve sclerosis (a LIFE substudy).
