Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) increase arterial compliance and decrease left ventricular mass in hypertensive patients. This study examined whether combined therapy has greater arterial and cardiac effects than doubled doses of the individual drugs.
