Background • Hypertensive patients are often complicated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM)and, combination of hypertension and T2DM markedly increases cardiovascular event risk. • ACEIs / ARBs reduce the new onset of T2DM* and slowed-down the progression of diabetic nephropathy†. *Yusuf S, et al.

Many guidelines recommend ACEIs / ARBs as the first-line antihypertensive medications for diabetic hypertensive patients. ◎ Recommended as a First-Choice Agent, ○ Available as an Alternative Agent, △ Not Recommended ACC 2011, LBCT

Purpose To compare the efficacies of an ARB Valsartan versus a CCB Amlodipine regarding cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Japanese hypertensive patients with T2DM or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00129233. ACC 2011, LBCT
Study design of the NHS • Aninvestigator-initiatedtrial. • A prospective randomized controlled trial. • Allocated treatment was open-labeled. • Outcomes were adjudicated in a blinded manner as for the drug assignment (PROBE method). • Definition of outcomes in an Endpoint Evaluation Committee had never be opened until this study was closed. • Conducted in 46 JCS-certified medical centers (by 171 cardiologists) in Nagoya and vicinity. • Began on Oct 2004 and closed on July 31, 2010.

Summary • A total of 54 patients (9.4%) in the valsartan group and 56 patients (9.7%) in the amlodipine group were determined to have primary outcomes during the median follow-up of 3.2 years. • Time-to-event curves showed no difference between the two groups. (HR 0.97 [95% CI, 0.66-1.40], p = 0.85) • admission due to CHF was significantly less in the valsartan group (3 patients) than in the amlodipine group (15 patients). (HR 0.20 [95% CI, 0.06-0.69], p = 0.01) ACC 2011, LBCT

Study Limitations • There were lower incidence of primary composite cardiovascular events as well as smaller sample size than anticipated. • We assessed the CV outcomes by the PROBE method that may be vulnerable to treatment and reporting bias. ACC 2011, LBCT

Conclusions • The NHS showed no difference between the valsartan-based and amlodipine-based antihypertensive treatment in terms of preventing composite major cardiovascular outcomes. • Valsartan-based treatment significantly reduced the risk of CHF as compared to amlodipine-based treatment. • Our results will highlight the safety and efficacy of an ARB valsartan especially in preventing heart failure, and support the current therapeutic recommendations for diabetic hypertensive patients.
