Filter by:The principal aim of the study is to demonstrate that Rostafuroxin is able to induce a more pronounced reduction of arterial blood pressure respect to Losartan, in hypertensive patients carrying at least one of the pre-specified gene mutations. In previous studies has been demonstrated that these mutations are able to induce specific alterations inducing an increase of sodium (Na) reabsorption at renal tubular level and an increase of arterial blood pressure. Pilot studies have demonstrated that Rostafuroxin is able to reduce the impact of these alterations, and so directly reverse the increase in blood pressure.
