Timeframe: Baseline to 48 weeks

Interventionmm Hg (Mean)
Atenolol-16.3
Irbesartan-18.8

Effects on Carotid Artery Wall Thickness

Changes in common carotid artery intima-media thickness, assessed by ultrasonography. (NCT00389168)
Timeframe: Baseline to 48 weeks

Interventionmm (Mean)
Atenolol0.03
Irbesartan-0.01

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

Safety was assessed by non-directed questions, and all observed and volunteered adverse events were recorded at each study visit. Serious adverse events were defined by, and reported according to the regulations of good clinical practice (GCP). none were considered related to the study medication. (NCT00389168)

Changes in Left Ventricular Mass Index

Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) at time points 0, 12, 24, and 48 weeks. Data are presented as left ventricular mass in gram (g) indexed for body mass index (in m^2). (NCT00389168)

Changes of Venous Plasma Angiotensin II as a Marker of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System

Venous plasma concentrations of angiotensin II were measured in order to study the possible associations between the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosteone system and changes in left ventricular mass. Further analyses of other components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and of other hormonal system (e.g. the sympathetic nervous system) have also been performed and published. Repeated measures MANOVA at time points 0, 12, 24, and 48 weeks. Data were log-transformed to avoid skewness before statistical evaluation. However, tabular data are given as mean values with 95% confidence to improve readability. (NCT00389168)

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Assessed by the E/A Ratio

Changes in left ventricular diastolic function from baseline to week 48 will be evaluated as the difference in E/A ratio. Conventional pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography was used for recordings of mitral inflow in. The peak of early (E) and late (A) mitral flow velocities were measured, and the E/A-ratio was calculated. Repeated measures MANOVA at time points 0, 12, 24, and 48 weeks. Some echocardiographic recordings at some time point may be of insufficient quality or missing, and the number of observations may not always correspond to the total number of participants at all time points.

Serious Adverse Events and Cardiovascular Events That Led to Trial Termination

Cardiovascular events were counted by subject and included the following: myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF), hospitalized angina, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, coronary revascularization and heart valve replacement. Adverse events reported are those during the course of 12 months of participation in the trial. All serious adverse events were adjudicated by R.A. and A.D.S. who were masked to the drug assignment at the time of adjudication. The duration of participation in the study per subject, which according to the trial design could be up to 12 months, was determined. The cardiovascular event rate was calculated by treatment group assignment. Incidence rate ratio (IRR) by treatment was then determined along with the 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). As a post hoc analysis, we also determined the narrower definition of cardiovascular events per group that included MI, stroke, CHF, or cardiovascular death. (NCT00582114)

The Primary End Point is the Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) by Echocardiographic Criteria From Baseline to 1 Year.

The primary outcome of the study was the average reduction in left ventricular mass indexed for body surface area from baseline to 1 year. A mixed model was used with left ventricular mass index (LVMI) as the outcome variable. Fixed effects were indicator variables for time, treatment and their interaction. Random effect was subject and statistical inference was made using the maximum likelihood estimator. No imputation was made for missing data. (NCT00582114)
