Clinical Trial: Mineralocorticoid Receptor, Coronary Microvascular Function, and Cardiac Efficiency in Hypertension
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Hypertension
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Mineralocorticoid Receptor, Coronary Microvascular Function, and Cardiac Efficiency in Hypertension
Brief Summary:
The investigators' goal is to show that in hypertensive men and women with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) treatment with a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, versus a thiazide-like diuretic, will improve coronary microvascular function and cardiac efficiency, which will associate with improvements in LV structure and function.The investigators will achieve this through a randomized, controlled, basic experimental study involving humans (BESH).
