Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers (RAASb) and more particularly angiotensin-II receptor blockers (ARBs) are efficient in reducing LVM in hypertensive patients, as emphasized by several meta-analyses. In addition, ARBs improve myocardial relaxation, diastolic function, decreased hypertrophy and may have anti-fibrotic effects. In a recent retrospective study from our group, RAASb prescription after SAVR was associated with increased survival, but confirmation through a randomized trial is mandatory. In a prospective randomized single-center study, the use of candesartan was associated both with LV and LA remodeling as compared to the conventional management. Nevertheless, these results are based on echocardiographic data, which is not the gold standard for the assessment cardiac remodeling, and no placebo or active comparator was tested to control the impact of ARBs in these patients.
