BACKGROUND: Reoperative cardiac surgical procedures are associated with a significantly greater complication rate than that of the initial procedure. Enhanced collagen synthesis can occur due to increased production of angiotensin II (Ang-II) and subsequent activation of Ang AT(1) receptor. Accordingly, the goal of the current study is to test the hypothesis that increased Ang AT(1) receptor activity following pericardiotomy contributes to pericardial thickening and fibrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adult pigs were randomly assigned to three protocols: (1) pericardiotomy with 28-day recovery period (n = 5); (2) pericardiotomy with Ang AT(1) receptor blockade instituted throughout the 28-day recovery period using 60 mg/day valsartan (n = 5); and (3) sham controls (n = 6). Pericardium samples were collected and analyzed by biochemical and histomorphometrical methods. Pericardial fibrosis occurred postpericardiotomy as indicated by increased hydroxyproline content from normal value of 50 +/- 3 microg/mg to 75 +/- 4 microg/mg (P < 0. 05). RESULTS: Pericardial thickness was increased postpericardiotomy to 2.7 +/- 0.4 mm compared to normal values of 0.4 +/- 0.05 mm (P < 0.05). Ang AT(1) receptor blockade reduced pericardial thickness by 50% and the relative degree of fibrosis was comparable to that of the normal group. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this pericardial fibrosis animal model suggest that Ang AT(1) receptor activation contributes to the development of pericardial thickening and collagen accumulation in the postoperative period. Thus, Ang AT(1) receptor inhibition may provide a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent pericardial fibrosis that follows cardiac surgical procedures. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Valsartan is a second class of angiotensin II receptor antagonist, indicated for the treatment of hypertension. The objective of the study was to monitor the safety of valsartan using the technique of prescription event monitoring (PEM), in patients who were prescribed this drug by general practitioners (GPs) in England. PEM is a noninterventional observation cohort technique. Exposure data were obtained from dispensed prescriptions issued between December 1996 and November 1998. Outcome data were obtained by sending questionnaires to prescribing GPs. The cohort comprised 12881 patients. Events most frequently reported as suspected adverse drug reactions were malaise/lassitude (37; 0.3% of total cohort), dizziness (19; 0.1%), and unspecified side effects (57; 0.4%). Events with the highest incidence density (ID(1) per 1000 patient-months of treatment) in the first month of treatment were malaise/lassitude (15.6), dizziness (11.8), and headache/migraine (10.9). Most frequent reasons for stopping valsartan were not effective (847; 6.6% of total cohort), malaise/lassitude (265; 21%), and dizziness (146; 1.1%). No unexpected serious adverse events were identified. Other events assessed as possibly related to valsartan use were impotence (37), dizziness (19), cough (9), facial oedema (5), hyperkalaemia (3), and angioneurotic oedema (1). There were four reports of exposure during pregnancy and 203 deaths (1.5%) in this cohort. In conclusion, this study monitored the safety profile of valsartan in a large cohort of patients in general practice in England. No untoward features other than dizziness were identified that were not mentioned in the prescribing guidance.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether subjects whose therapy was converted from losartan or valsartan to irbesartan maintained equivalent blood pressure measurements, determine the safety and tolerability of irbesartan in the veteran population, and assess the number of subjects attaining their goal blood pressure before and after conversion. METHODS: A retrospective review of medical records for subjects whose antihypertensive was converted to irbesartan was conducted. Demographic data were collected, and subjects' past medical histories were used to determine their goal blood pressure. Blood pressures were compared at baseline, 2 weeks, and 2 months after conversion to determine efficacy, and adverse effect occurrence was compared between visits to assess safety. RESULTS: Conversion was attempted in 79 subjects; 72 met the criteria for review. Mean baseline, 2-week, and 2-month blood pressures for all subjects were 143/74, 139/72, and 139/73 mm Hg, respectively (p values NS). The number of subjects achieving their goal blood pressure at each assessment visit was similar: 37.5% at baseline, 43.4% at 2 weeks, and 31.9% at 2 months. Thirteen of the 72 subjects discontinued irbesartan due to adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Irbesartan is an appropriate substitution for valsartan or losartan.
