1. There is no difference in the effect of ramipril or irbesartan on vascular compliance measurements in subjects with type 2 diabetes complicated with nephropathy
2. Combination therapy with ramipril and irbesartan does not confer any additional effect on vascular compliance when compared to each drug used in isolation
