Previously, the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) were considered as first-line drug in HF patients. Now, heart experts are debating if ARBs can also be considered as another first-line drug to be given with ACEi or to replace it altogether in those who cannot tolerate ACEi due to side-effects, which can be as many as 35 percent of HF patients.

There is still a big need to come up with new therapies which can significantly optimize treatment of patients suffering from heart failure.

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), a class of drugs popularly prescribed for high blood pressure, are filling in this need.
