Brief summary

This study is designed to compare the effects of COREG MR (carvedilol modified release formulation) to atenolol on indices of left ventricular dimensions when added to standardized angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, and to the effect of ACE inhibition alone. Subjects with LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) and hypertension will be studied. The primary endpoint will be the change in left ventricular mass index (LVMI) characterized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following 12 months of treatment. Secondary endpoints include the change in LV (left ventricular) mass, LV wall thickness, diastolic left ventricular filling parameters, and left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiographic methods at Treatment Month 12. Composite outcomes and individual event data will also be evaluated by treatment group.

Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed (LVMI) by Body Surface Area as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Month 12

Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.

Comparison: The null hypotheses (tested hierarchically) were that the effect of carvedilol CR + lisinopril on LV mass regression was no different than the effect of atenolol + lisinopril, and that the effect of carvedilol CR + lisinopril was no different than the effect of lisinopril + lisinopril.

Time frame: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

Population: All randomized participants who had a valid MRI at Baseline and Month 12 (LOCF on or after Month 9 to Month 12)

Model-adjusted Ratio to Baseline as Percentage Change From Baseline in Log Transformed Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) at Month 12

Urinary ACR (micrograms per milligram) was determined at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month 12. Percentage change from Baseline was based on log transformed data and was calculated as 100 x (exponent (exponent (mean change on log scale) - 1. \[Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.\]

Time frame: Baseline and Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the LOCF was used)
