In our country, cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic heart disease and apoplexy, occupies the epistasis of mortality rate. One of the causes of cardiovascular disease is arteriosclerotic change and hypertension. It is a common understanding that the prevention of the arteriosclerotic change and antihypertensive treatment are very important. Lately, it is found angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor has anti-arteriosclerotic action that cannot be explained only in a blood pressure control. Reexamination of the strategy is needed in antihypertensive treatment. The close relation exists between antihypertensive treatment and cardiovascular protection. The cardiovascular protection is important in the new antihypertensive therapy.
