Primary outcomePrimary: Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) — 9.90; 9.96; 7.62; 8.57 m/s — p=0.685

Summary

The goal of this proposal is to investigate the potential for ACE-inhibitors (ACE-I)(drugs primarily used to treat hypertension or congestive heart failure) to prevent or delay cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by examining their impact on aortic stiffness in people with stage 3 CKD in a randomized, controlled study.

Known allergy or hypersensitivity to ACE inhibitor or ARB
Female of childbearing age not practicing contraception
Current treatment with an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE-I) or Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers (ARB) (Note: can participate if on ACE-I after 6 week washout period)
