Clinical Study
Blood Pressure Response to Zofenopril or Irbesartan Each Combined with Hydrochlorothiazide in High-Risk Hypertensives Uncontrolled by Monotherapy: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled, Parallel Group, Noninferiority Trial
Table 5
Summary measures for cardiac (LVMI, left ventricular mass index), renal (urine protein), and vascular (IMT, intima-media thickness) damage after 48 weeks of treatment with zofenopril 60 mg + hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) or irbesartan 300 mg + HCTZ. Data are shown for the intention-to-treat population. For any measure the baseline value (±SD), the adjusted reduction (and 95% confidence interval), and the absolute () and relative (%) frequency of patients with damage at baseline showing regression with treatment are reported. Adjustment was made by the baseline value and other potentially confounding variables (age, gender, abdominal obesity, HDL cholesterol, family history for premature cardiovascular disease, baseline blood pressure, and blood pressure changes with treatment). The value refers to the statistical significance of the intertreatment difference.
