Pivotal to endothelial dysfunction is a disturbance in the function of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO). Recently, it could be shown that acute and chronic angiotensin-1 receptor antagonism reversed endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis. In experimental atherosclerosis, AT1 receptor blockade appears to have protective effects. Respective potential mechanisms include the prevention of endothelial injury, the augmentation of NO activity, the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and an antiproliferative effect. These findings together with the most recent data that losartan improves endothelial function and NO activity suggest that AT1 receptor antagonism may also be antiatherogenic in patients with atherosclerosis. Angiotensin II influences smooth muscle cell migration, hyperplasia, and hypertrophy. Angiotensin II also enhances production of local superoxide anion, which will inactivate nitric oxide. Inhibition of these reactions by the AT1-Blocker telmisartan may therefore interfere with atherosclerotic plaque formation.', 'detailedDescription': 'Methodology:\n\n2:1 randomised, double-blind and placebo-controlled parallel-group design\n\nPlanned/actual number of subjects:\n\nEnrolled: 30/33, randomised: 30/22, completed: 30/15\n\nDuration of treatment:\n\n9 months: telmisartan (80 mg) or Placebo (80 mg)\n\nStudy Hypothesis:\n\nThe trial is designed as a group comparison of telmisartan 80 mg and placebo, where the treatment groups are randomised in 2:1 relation, to investigate the efficacy of telmisartan on structural alterations and endothelial dysfunction as measured as the percentage change from baseline after 36 weeks of treatment of the atheroma volume in the femoral artery using IVUS .\n\nSecondary endpoints are the changes from baseline in the flow dependent dilatation after a acetylcholine challenge which follows a nitro-glycerin bolus, the change of the total atheroma volume, the percentage atheroma volume measured by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and the infalmmatory parameters MCP-1, CRP, ox LDL antibodies and sPLA2 activity and amount.\n\nIn an analysis of covariance using baseline as covariate all endpoints will be investigated.
