Abstract	Main results Analysis was by intention to treat. After adjustment for degree of LVH and Framingham risk score (sex, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking, presence of diabetes and LVH, systolic BP, and body mass index) at baseline, groups did not differ for the composite endpoint (table) or MI. Cardiovascular mortality, stroke, all cause mortality, and new onset diabetes occurred less frequently in patients who received losartan than in those who received atenolol (table). Conclusion In patients with isolated systolic hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, losartan reduced cardiovascular mortality, stroke, all cause mortality, and new onset diabetes more than atenolol.
