Clinical Details
Official title: Effects of Bisoprolol and Atenolol on Resting Heart Rate and Sympathetic Nervous System's Activity in Patients With Essential Hypertension
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Change From Baseline in Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS) at Attainment of Heart Rate GoalChange From Baseline in Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS) at End of Follow-up
Secondary outcome: Change From Baseline in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) for Low Frequency Power (LF) and for High Frequency Power (HF) at Attainment of Heart Rate Goal and End of Follow-upChange From Baseline in Ratio of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) for Low Frequency Power (LF) to Heart Rate Variability Power (HRV) for High Frequency (HF) (LF/HF) at Attainment of Heart Rate Goal and End of Follow-up Number of Participants Attaining Heart Rate Goal at Dosage 1, 2 and 3 of Study Treatment Percentage of Participants Attaining Heart Rate Goal at Week 2, 4 and 6 Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Number of Participants Compliant With Study Treatment
