we hypothesized that combination therapy has additive beneficial effects to improve endothelial dysfunction and adipocytokine profiles in patients with hypertension.
Forty patients will be given ramipril 10 mg and placebo, ramipril 10 mg and candesartan 16 mg, or candesartan 16 mg and placebo daily in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial with three treatment arms and two washout periods (each 2 months).
