Popis: The comparative effects on echocardiographically determined left ventricular (LV) mass and pulsed Doppler derived indexes of LV diastolic filling were studied in previously untreated hypertensive patients after 6 months of treatment with diltiazem 300 mg once daily (o.d.) (n = 16), and lisinopril 20 mg o.d. (n = 20). LV mass index decreased in the lisinopril group (from 92 to 82 g/m(2)), but not in the diltiazem group (from 98 to 96 g/m(2)); mean difference after 6 months of treatment with diltazem-lisinopril was 13.7 g/m(2) [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.8 to 26.6, p
