Angiotensin II receptor blockers are used primarily for the treatment of [[hypertension]] where the patient is intolerant of [[ACE inhibitor]] therapy primarily because of persistent and/or dry [[cough]]. They do not inhibit the breakdown of [[bradykinin]] or other [[kinin]]s, and are thus only rarely associated with the persistent dry cough and/or [[angioedema]] that limit ACE inhibitor therapy. More recently, they have been used for the treatment of [[heart failure]] in patients intolerant of ACE inhibitor therapy, in particular [[candesartan]]. [[Irbesartan]] and [[losartan]] have trial data showing benefit in hypertensive patients with [[type 2 diabetes]], and may delay the progression of [[diabetic nephropathy]]. A 1998 double-blind study found "that [[lisinopril]] improved [[insulin sensitivity]] whereas losartan did not affect it." [[Candesartan]] is used experimentally in preventive treatment of [[migraine]]. Lisinopril has been found less often effective than candesartan at preventing migraine.</div>FuzzyBot
