Study information

Study designRandomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeNot Specified
Scientific title
Study objectivesPlease note that, as of 9th December 2010, the public title of this trial has been changed from "Left ventricular hypertrophy in normotensive individuals: would reducing blood pressure further enhance left ventricular hypertrophy regression? " to "Left ventricular hypertrophy: reduction of blood pressure already in the normal range further regresses left ventricular mass."


There are a significant number of individuals with a normal blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Would an extra reduction in blood pressure enhance LVH regression?
Ethics approval(s)Yes, approved by the Tayside Committee on Medical Research Ethics A
REC on 23/07/2004, reference number: 04/S1401/47
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLeft ventricular hypertrophy
InterventionTwo thirds of patients to receive active medication (normal antihypertensives once daily including: bendroflumethiazide 2.5 mg, amlodipine 5 mg, atenolol 50 mg, doxazosin XL 4 mg, spironolactone 25 mg) to lower blood pressure by 10 mmHg. Remaining third to receive placebo with aim of maintaining blood pressure at levels at start of the trail.
