Offspring of hypertensive parents are at high risk of future hypertension and subsequent cardiovascular diseases. We investigated whether early treatment with an angiotensin-receptor blocker in young normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents persistently lowered blood pressure after treatment withdrawal, a possibility supported by animal studies. The study is an investigator-initiated, double-blind study of 110 healthy normotensive subjects aged 18 to 36 years where both parents have essential hypertension randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups: candesartan (Atacand, Astra Zeneca), 16 mg o.d. or placebo. The intervention period was 12 months, with 24 months of follow-up. PRIMARY OUTCOME was mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure recordings (mean AMBP) after 12 and 24 months follow-up and was based on intention to treat (n=110). SECONDARY OUTCOMES were changes during treatment in mean AMBP, left ventricular mass, renal hemodynamics, and adverse events during intervention and were based on those completing the intervention period (n=105).
