Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of losartan as compared with amlodipine, both associated with amiodarone, in preventing the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in hypertensive patients with a history of recent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Two hundred and fifty mild hypertensive (SBP > 140 mm Hg and/or DBP > 90 PKeywords
