Abstract
After 7 years of treatment with 20 mg of enalapril twice daily, regres sion of the initial left ventricular hypertrophy in a group of 24 pati ents with essential arterial hypertension was achieved: gradual reduct ion in the dosage to 10 or 5 mg twice daily caused no worsening of eit her blood pressure or ventricular structure or function.
