NCT00150631

Brief Summary

The present study examine healthy, normotensive subjects 18 to 36 years of age whose both parents have essential hypertension. The subjects receive treatment with either the AT1-antagonist candesartan cilexetil, 16 mg daily or placebo for one year. Then, treatment is withdrawn and the subjects is followed for 10 years to determine if the treatment has been able to either prevent or delay the development of hypertension. The primary objective is to determine whether pharmacological treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker is able to restrain or delay the progression to hypertension. Secondary objectives are to investigate whether any long-term effect on blood pressure is related to the effect of treatment on renal haemodynamic function, or on the left ventricle mass.
