The drug modulates the functional activity of AT1 subtype of angiotensin II receptors in various tissues.
In conditions of chronic heart failure (CHF), the drug reduces arterial vasoconstriction, peripheral vascular resistance, pre - and postnagruzku on the heart. Modifies the effect of angiotensin II on the structure and function of resistive vessels, remodeling processes in the cardiovascular system; positively affects the morphofunctional parameters of the heart, including helps reduce myocardial hypertrophy, reduce the volume of dilated heart chambers, normalize myocardial oxygenation. By increasing the stroke volume increases the minute volume of blood flow, without changing the heart rate.
The drug increases exercise tolerance and improves the functional class of CHF. Taking a drug lasting two or more months is accompanied by an improvement in hemodynamic parameters; leads to the normalization of the daily rhythm of blood pressure (BP) (does not affect blood pressure at its normal level, reduces blood pressure at initially elevated values, reduces its fluctuations during the day).
Does not adversely affect the water-salt balance.
