A study has been initiated in the UK, spanning a number of hospitals, to measure the viability of use the use of Irbesartan. I was prescribed with Losartan, transitioning away from Atenolol, around 2 years ago now. Anyone else using similar in Australia or New Zealand?

That's exciting elepots! I had a tough year prior to starting Losartan, as I had taken up heavy gym sessions over the year, and my aorta (unsurprisingly) dilated quite substantially in that time. Ignorance of my limitations, unfortunately

Started taking Losartan and adjusted my lifestyle to suit, so hoping to see either absolutely no further dilation (4.6cm was my last aortic root measurement), or perhaps even a decrease!
