Abstract

The clinical utility and ultimately guideline recommendations for aldosterone receptor-blocking agents in cardiovascular disorders is clearly mentioned by a number of major clinical outcome trials. This article reviews the pharmacology, clinical efficacy and safety of the two currently available receptor blocking agents: spironolactone and eplerenone. The potential utility of eplerenone and other mineralocorticoid receptor agents beyond current clinical indications will also be examined.
