Brief Summary
To determine whether measured variation in genes coding for components of vasoconstriction and volume regulating systems predict interindividual differences in blood pressure response to therapy with a thiazide diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide, or an angiotensin II receptor blocker, candesartan, in hypertensive African-Americans (N=300 treated with each drug) and in hypertensive European Americans (N=300 treated with each drug).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in blood pressure
The blood pressure response to antihypertensive drug therapy was defined by the difference between blood pressure levels prior to and at the end of drug therapy.
4 weeks for hydrochlorothiazide; 6 weeks for candesartan
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Adverse metabolic changes
4 weeks for hydrochlorothiazide only
Study Arms (4)
African American hydrochlorothiazide
300 African American hypertensives were treated with hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily for 4 weeks.
European American hydrochlorothiazide
300 European American hypertensives were treated with hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily for 4 weeks
African American candesartan
300 African American hypertensives were treated with candesartan 16 mg daily for 2 weeks followed by 32 mg daily for 4 weeks
European American candesartan
300 European American hypertensives were treated with candesartan 16 mg daily for 2 weeks followed by 32 mg daily for 4 weeks
