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†.

Many guidelines recommend ACEIs / ARBs as
the first-line antihypertensive medications for
diabetic hypertensive patients.

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)

 There were lower incidence of primary composite

 We assessed the CV outcomes by the PROBE

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.
