Summary
The study is designed to evaluate the effects of L-arginine on myocardial structure and
function and circulating microRNAs in patients with arterial hypertension.
The study will analyze the impact of 4 weeks treatment randomized to L-arginine or placebo,
on mechanical-energy efficiency (MEE) and longitudinal strain in patients with arterial
hypertension. The investigators will also assess whether the changes in MEE and strain
induced by L-arginine treatment is associated with changes in circulating micro RNAs.
