Abstract

Arterial hypertension is a civilization disease widespread worldwide. It leads to serious systemic complications and hypertension itself and its complications are the most common causes of hospitalization and death. According to the recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension and the European Society of Cardiology and the Polish Society of Hypertension – angiotensin II receptor antagonists belong to the main groups of drugs used in the treatment of hypertension.


Telmisartan is an effective and well-tolerated antihypertensive drug with a number of clinical benefits. It is characterized by an exceptional pharmacokinetic profile compared to other sartans, moreover, as the only one in this group, it is registered for use in the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk. Telmisartan is a proper alternative to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, with proven similar effectiveness with a lower percentage of side effects.
