Effect of telmisartan, angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibition, or both, on proteinuria and blood pressure in dogs

Abstract Background The use of telmisartan (TEL), an angiotensin‐receptor blocker, for the control of systemic hypertension and proteinuria in dogs has not been reported extensively in a clinical setting. Objectives To determine the effects of an angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) alone,...
