The effect of indapamide versus hydrochlorothiazide on ventricular and arterial function in patients with hypertension and diabetes: Results of a randomized trial

Conclusion: Indapamide was found to improve measures of endothelial and arterial functions and to increase longitudinal left ventricular function compared with hydrochlorothiazide in patients with hypertension and diabetes, after 6 months of treatment. This study suggests that indapamide, a thiazide-like diuretic, has important vascular effects that can improve ventriculoarterial coupling.
