Özet

The short term (three months) effects of rilmenidine on systemic hypertension induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions ill comparison with those of perindopril and nifedipine-slow release (SR) formulation were studied. The short term effects of rilmenidine oil biochemical parameters and lipid profiles were evaluated.
