Abstract P474: Comparison of the Effect of Different Calcium Channel Antagonists on Arterial Stiffness and Central Pressures in Moderate Hypertensive Patients Receiving Enalapril as First Line Treatment [Session Title: Antihypertensive Drugs and Pharmacology, Patient-Provider-Healthcare System Issues, and Pediatric and Adolescent Hypertension]

CONCLUSIONS: according to our data, it is preferable to use AML as a CCA,because it not only reduces BP better but also the central BP, improving AS in small and large vessels. The BND would be the other choice, since it does not present significant differences with respect to the first group. NFD , in addition to, not demonstrating superiority, also does not reduce DBPc in these Phta. Therefore, we consider that the presented data have sufficient clinical relevance to choose CCA associated with an ACE inhibitor.
