Valsartan is indicated for the treatment of heart failure (NYHA class II-IV) in patients who are intolerant of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. In a controlled clinical trial Valsartan significantly reduced hospitalisations for heart failure. There is no evidence that Valsartan provides added benefits when it is used with an adequate dose of an ACE inhibitor. Valsartan is indicated to improve survival following myocardial infarction in clinically stable patients with signs symptoms or radiological evidence of left ventricular failure and /or with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.For treatment of hypertension.

Hypertension increases the workload of the
heart and arteries. If the hypertension is not
treated, the blood vessels of the brain, heart
and kidneys could be damaged. The result
may cause a stroke, heart failure or kidney
failure. Hypertension increases the risk of
heart attacks. Lowering blood pressure to
normal levels reduces the risk of developing
these disorders.
