Objective: To determine whether the use of losartan alone decreases the prevalence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease versus the use of other associated antihypertensives in patients with hypertension. Material and methods: Analytical cross-sectional observational study in patients with hypertension, designed to evaluate the prevalence of ischemic CVD in users of Losartan monotherapy, this association being adjusted for sociodemographic variables (age, sex, marital status, origin), comorbidities (type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemias, chronic kidney disease), family history and time of use of antihypertensive therapy. Results: 312 hypertensive patients were included in the analysis. The prevalence of ischemic CVD was 38.8%. The frequency of this pathology was higher with increasing age of patients (≥ 55 years), as well as in those who reported at least one comorbidity (45.4%). In patients using losartan monotherapy, the prevalence of ischemic CVD decreased by 46% (aPR 0.54, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.83, p: 0.005), while those whose report of use of antihypertensive therapy exceeded 5 years, had a 71% lower prevalence of this pathology (aPR 0.29, 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.48, p: < 0.001). Conclusions: A significant association was found between the use of losartan monotherapy and the reduction in the prevalence of an ischemic cerebrovascular event compared to other therapies, after adjusting for sociodemographic, clinical and treatment factors.
