ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to the use of a combination of angiotensin inhibitors and nitric oxide stimulators to slow and reverse the process of fibrosis in the body. This combination of medicaments is particularly useful in the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular fibrotic pathologies, such as that associated with left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to hypertension, myocardial infarction, and myocarditis.
