Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of candesartan and losartan in hypertension with heart failure.
Detailed description
This is a randomized, open-label, phase 4 study. wash out periods need at least 14 days if the patients take ARB or ACE inhibitor to control Blood pressure. Patients take Candemore or Cozzar once a day during 16 weeks.
Interventions
Candemore tablet 8, 16, or 32mg/tab, per oral, a tablet once a day during 16 weeks. dosage is depends on the sitting blood pressure.
Cozzar tablet: 8mg, 16mg, 32mg/tablet, per oral, a tablet a day during 16 weeks dosage depends on sitting blood pressure

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| change from baseline average sitting DBP(diastolic blood pressure)at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change from baseline average sitting DBP(diastolic blood pressure)at 8 weeks | baseline, 8 weeks | — |
| change from baseline average sitting SBP(systolic blood pressure)at 8 weeks | baseline, 8 weeks | — |
| change from baseline average sitting SBP(systolic blood pressure)at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | — |
| ratio of normalize from baseline blood pressure at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | normalize means that sitting SBP and DBP is below 140mmHg and 90mmHg |
| response ratio from baseline blood pressure at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | response means that decrease in sitting DBP and SBP is above 10mmHg and 20mmHg |
| change from baseline LV(left ventricular) mass at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | — |
| change from baseline PWV(pulse wave velocity) mass at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | — |
| change from baseline LVEF(left ventricular ejection fraction at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | — |
| change from baseline LVEDD(left ventricular end-diastolic diameter)at 16 weeks | baseline, 16 weeks | — |
Other
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| rate of adverse event | up to 16 weeks |
| medication history | up to 16 weeks |
