Valsartan (and other ARBs) are an appropriate initial treatment option for most people with high blood pressure and no other coexisting conditions, as are ACE inhibitors, thiazide diuretics and calcium channel blockers.
In people with type 2 diabetes, antihypertensive therapy with valsartan decreases the rate of progression of albuminuria (albumin in urine), promotes regression to normoalbuminuria and may reduce the rate of progression to end-stage kidney disease.

High blood pressure (arterial hypertension, hypertension) is a persistent increase in systolic BP above 130 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP above 90 mm Hg.
The treatment of arterial hypertension is based on lifestyle modifications, constant monitoring of BP values, the use of hypotensive drugs (diovan) - one or more, based on the individual situation of the patient.
To determine the causes of high blood pressure, diagnose the condition and treat it, you need to see a general practitioner. If necessary, the specialist will refer you for consultation to a specialist doctor: cardiologist, endocrinologist, nephrologist and others.
