TRANSCEND Question: • Is telmisartan superior to placebo in patients at high risk of CV events who are intolerant of ACE-I? Outcome: • Primary: CV death, MI, stroke, CHF hosp • Key secondary: CV death, MI, stroke (HOPE trial outcome) Design: Single blind run-in (n=6,666) Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study conducted in 630 centers in 40 countries (n=5,926) 56 months follow-up with 99.7% outcome ascertainment

Conclusions: Telmisartan vs. Placebo • Telmisartan reduces the primary outcome by 8% (p=0.22), but reduces significantly the main secondary outcome of CV death, MI or stroke by 13% (p=0.048). • There is no impact on heart failure events with telmisartan. • Telmisartan is well tolerated and there is no excess of adverse events
