The present study was designed to assess whether a diuretic- or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-based treatment can reduce arterial wall hypertrophy of a distal muscular medium-sized artery--the radial artery--and the stiffness of a proximal large elastic artery--the common carotid artery.
