Condition(s) targeted: Hypertension

Intervention: Nebivolol (Drug); Hydrochlorothiazide (Drug)

Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Nebivolol and Hydrochlorothiazide on blood pressure in African Americans with high blood pressure.

Clinical Details

Official title: A 25 Week, Open Label Study to Determine the Effects of Nebivolol When Added to Hydrochlorothiazide on Diastolic Function and Arterial Stiffness in African Americans With Hypertension

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic

Primary outcome: Changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after treatment with nebivolol and reaching normal blood pressure <140/90

Secondary outcome: Differences after nebivolol treatment on diastolic function as measured by tissue doppler imaging (ECHO), arterial compliance and stiffness and vascular nitric oxide availability determined by neutrophil function

Detailed description: Many blood pressure medications are not effective in African American men and women. The two lower chambers of the heart contract to pump blood to the body. The lower chambers have to relax so they can refill with blood to pump out again. Many patients with high blood pressure have stiffness in the lower chambers which prevents the heart from relaxing so it can properly fill with blood. Some patients with the stiffness in the lower chambers of the heart will develop heart failure. The study is to test whether or not Nebivolol (Bystolic)and a diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) will help the heart relax so the heart can properly fill and prevent stiffness of the lower heart chambers.
