Summary

Combinded therapy with folic acid and enalapril may significantly decrease plasma total homocysteine level and had beneficial effect on blood pressure reduction and glycometabolism.

Clinical Details

Official title: Efficacy of Antihypertensive and Plasma Total Homocysteine Lowering Combined Therapy With Enalapril and Folic Acid in Hypertensive Patients:A Multicenter Double Blind Randomized Clinical Trial

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Blood pressure of study participants was measured at baseline, 2th week, 4th week, 6th week and at the end of trial Subjects' plasma total homocysteine concentration were measured at baseline, 4th week and at 8th week.

Secondary outcome: Participants' living habit and life style were collected at baseline with the original questionnaires. A follow up questionnaire was sent out at 2th week, 4th week, 6th week and at the end of the trial.
