To determine whether addition of Carvedilol CR to diabetic patients with hypertension who are receiving the ACEi,Lisinopril,will provide added benefits to blood vessels when compared to treatment with Lisinopril alone.It is believed that carvedilol provides added benefits by suppressing free radicals(charged substances that cause damage to the body ) and inflammation.

Official Title: | Vascular Benefits of Adding CarvedilolCR to Type2 Diabetic Patients on ACEI:Effects on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation. |

Study Start Date: | February 2007 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | May 2008 |
Type 2 diabetes is an atherosclerotic, pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative stress.Both vascular oxidative stress and inflammation are CVD risk factors and impact endothelial function.
Carvedilol has been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies (although limited in size) to exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties: (1) reduce the inflammation markers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP); (2) reduce oxidative stress via dually eliminating existing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressing the generation of ROS; (3) prevent lipid peroxidation in myocardial cell membrane; (4) protect endothelial and vascular muscle cells from oxygen radical-mediated injury.
This project is about studying the effect of carvedilol CR on blood vessels of diabetic hypertensive patients as compared to Lisinopril alone.
This study involves weaning patient off their current antihypertensive medications and starting them on Lisinopril and Carvedilol CR or placebo for 6 months and studying the effects of the drugs during this period and thereafter.
