Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy may be modified through the administration of antihypertensive drugs, the most effective ones being angiotensin receptor blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. Reduction of left ventricular mass is associated with a decrease of cardiovascular risk. Regression of hypertrophy should be defined as one of the goals of antihypertensive therapy, as an addition and independently to the control of blood pressure.
