Selected Antihypertensive Agents and Their Fixed-Dose Combinations Effectively Ameliorate Trastuzumab-Mediated Cardiac Dysfunction In Rats.

This study evaluates the therapeutic potentials of selected antihypertensive drugs [valsartan, amlodipine, lisinopril and their fixed-dose combinations (amlodipine + lisinopril) and (valsartan + lisinopril)] in ameliorating trastuzumab (TZM)‑induced cardiac dysfunctions in experimental rats. After an ethical clearance for the study was obtained, in-bred young adult female Wistar rats were randomly allotted into 10 groups of 6 rats per group. Group I rats were treated with 10 ml/kg/day sterile water p.
