Irbesartan Effects on Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypertensive Type II Diabetic Patients Comparing Atenolol - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Sanofi-Aventis
Information provided by:	Sanofi-Aventis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00549133

Purpose

To show that Irbesartan improves endothelial dysfunction and the procoagulant state which are thought to be the possible mechanisms, inducing a generalized vasculopathy associated with microalbuminuria and vascular events in type II diabetic hypertensive patients

Official Title:	Irbesartan Effects on Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypertensive Type II Diabetic Patients Comparing Atenolol

Further study details as provided by Sanofi-Aventis:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Evaluation of the effect of irbesartan on nitric oxide (NO), which has key role in the endothelial dysfunction and the development of pressure vasomotor response, compared to standard therapy (atenolol)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Evaluation of the effect of irbesartan on chronic inflammatory process and tendency for procoagulation, associated with endothelial dysfunction, compared to atenolol.
