The Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial: implications and further outcomes.

A t a meeting of the European Blood Pressure Group held in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, in the spring of 1988, concern was expressed that there were no plans to evaluate the long-term efficacy of newer classes of blood pressure– lowering drugs, including the calcium channel blockers and the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, in morbidity and mortality outcome trials. These drugs were bei...

Anglo-Scandinavian cardiac outcomes trial--lipid lowering arm.

OBJECTIVE Older patients experience higher rates of cardiovascular disease than younger patients, but may be undertreated with statins due to doubts about efficacy and safety. The Lipid-Lowering Arm of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial allowed an evaluation of the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin among older (≥ 65 years) and younger (<65 years) patients with hypertension. METHO...

Potential synergy between lipid-lowering and blood-pressure-lowering in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial.

AIMS A prespecified objective of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) was to assess whether any synergistic effects were apparent between the lipid-lowering and blood-pressure-lowering regimens in preventing cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 19 257 hypertensive subjects were randomized to an amlodipine-based regimen or an atenolol-based regimen. Of these, ...

Ethnicity and left ventricular diastolic function in hypertension an ASCOT (Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial) substudy.

OBJECTIVES We investigated whether diastolic function differs between hypertensive patients of African-Caribbean or white European origin and established whether differences could be explained by confounding variables. BACKGROUND African Caribbeans are known to have a higher prevalence of heart failure than white Europeans but it is unclear whether this is a result of known risk factors. Tiss...
