Brief Summary: This study is designed to support the use of valsartan in the diabetic population Two different groups will be studied one with and one without coronary artery disease CAD documented by angiography

The study is intended to demonstrate that valsartan 320 mg has an anti-inflammatory potential reducing inflammatory serum markers as well as inflammatory gene expression and to show that valsartan is able to improve metabolic parameters in this patient population Furthermore in the subgroup of patients with documented CAD this study wants to show that valsartan improves coronary perfusion

3 Objectives

Primary objectives

1 To demonstrate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of valsartan 160320 mg by testing the hypothesis of superiority compared to placebo in the reduction of the inflammatory marker Tumor necrosis factor alpha TNFα in plasma after 16 weeks of treatment in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
2 To demonstrate the anti-inflammatory efficacy of valsartan 160320 mg by testing the hypothesis of superiority compared to placebo in the reduction of the inflammatory marker Interleukin 6 IL-6 in plasma after 16 weeks of treatment in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Secondary objectives

1 To explore the effect of 160320 mg valsartan on parameters of insulin sensitivity
2 To explore the effect of 160320 mg valsartan on additional inflammatory markers in plasma eg C-Reactive protein CRP soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 sICAM-1 soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 sVCAM-1 serum amyloid A SAA soluble CD40 ligand sCD40L fibrinogen Interleukin 1β IL-1β matrix metalloproteases -2 -3 and -9 MMP-2 -3 -9 and sE-selectin
3 To explore the effect of 160320 mg valsartan on inflammatory gene expression from monocytes and fat tissue
4 To explore the effect of 160320 mg valsartan on metabolic gene expression in fat tissue
5 To explore the effect of 160320 mg valsartan on coronary perfusion in the group of patients with angiographically documented CAD
