Among numerous guidelines of arterial function, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index measure arterial tightness and wave reflections, respectively. Both actions can be accurately estimated within minutes with easy-to-use products and may forecast cardiovascular events above and beyond standard cardiovascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure [1,2]. However, at present, there is no specific treatment for improved arterial tightness or wave reflections. Nonetheless, antihypertensive medicines, especially those of vasodilatating action, seem to be encouraging in this regard. Since the early 1990s, several randomized controlled tests have been carried out to study the results of various antihypertensive medicines on carotid-femoral or brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and augmentation index. In the present review article, we summarized these tests to investigate whether and which antihypertensive medicines are efficacious in reducing arterial tightness and wave reflections and to explore the medical relevance of these arterial measurements for cardiovascular safety and prevention. Arterial Effects of Antihypertensive Medicines in Placebo-Controlled Tests Of the 27 placebo-controlled tests, 11 experienced a CVT 6883 cross-over design (table ?(table1)1) [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] and 16 had a parallel-group comparison design (table ?(table2)2) [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29]. Regardless of the design, these placebo-controlled studies had a sample size of tens and a follow-up time of weeks.
