<p>A therapeutic method is described for treating cardiofibrosis or cardiac hypertrophy using a combination therapy comprising a therapeutically-effective amount of an epoxy-free spirolactone-type aldosterone receptor antagonist and a therapeutically-effective amount of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Preferred angiotensin II receptor antagonists are those compounds having high potency and bioavailability and which are characterized in having an imidazole or triazole moiety attached to a biphenylmethyl or pyridinyl/phenylmethyl moiety. A preferred epoxy-free spirolactone-type aldosterone receptor antagonist is spironolactone. A preferred combination therapy includes the angiotensin II receptor antagonist 5-[2-[5-[(3,5-dibutyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-2-pyridinyl]phenyl-1H-tetrazole and the aldosterone receptor antagonist spironolactone.</p> |
