Highlights

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.

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.
