avapro and Cardiomyopathies

avapro has been researched along with Cardiomyopathies in 6 studies

Irbesartan: A spiro compound, biphenyl and tetrazole derivative that acts as an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist. It is used in the management of HYPERTENSION, and in the treatment of kidney disease.
irbesartan : A biphenylyltetrazole that is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used mainly for the treatment of hypertension.

Cardiomyopathies: A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

Trial Outcomes

Blood Pressure

Difference in Diastolic Blood Pressure. Repeated measures multivariable analysis of variance (MANOVA) at time points 0, 12, 24, and 48 weeks (NCT00389168)
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)
Timeframe: Treatment period was baseline to 48 weeks

InterventionParticipants (Number)
Atenolol5
Irbesartan5

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.
