Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Following screening, 413 participants were enrolled into the study to begin an open-label run-in phase with lisinopril 10 mg once daily (OD) for 1 week and then lisinopril 20 mg OD for 1 week. Of these participants, 287 were randomized to 1 of the 3 treatment regimens.

Participants were titrated from the starting dosage to higher dosages until their blood pressure was controlled. Participants continued to receive lisinopril 20 mg OD throughout the study. (In the protocol, carvedilol CR was referred to as carvedilol modified-release [MR].)
Atenolol Atenolol 50 to 100 mg OD plus lisinopril 20 mg OD. Participants were titrated from the starting dosage to higher dosages until their blood pressure was controlled. Participants continued to receive lisinopril 20 mg OD throughout the study.
Lisinopril Lisinopril 10 to 40 mg OD plus lisinopril 20 mg OD. Participants were titrated from the starting dosage to higher dosages until their blood pressure was controlled. Participants continued to receive lisinopril 20 mg OD throughout the study.

Measure Type Primary
Measure Title Model-adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Indexed (LVMI) by Body Surface Area as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at Month 12
Measure Description LVMI was measured by MRI at Baseline and after 12 months of treatment/Month12. A reduction in left ventricular mass, calculated as LVMI, of 5 g/m2 was assumed to be clinically meaningful. Change in Baseline was calculated as Month 12 value (or value after 12 months of treatment) minus the Baseline value.
Time Frame Month 12 (If Month 12 data were not available, the Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF] analysis, which includes data collected on or after Month 9 of treatment to Month 12 of treatment, was used)

[1] Additional details about the analysis, such as null hypothesis and power calculation:
  The null hypotheses (tested hierarchically) were that the effect of carvedilol CR + lisinopril on LV mass regression was no different than the effect of atenolol + lisinopril, and that the effect of carvedilol CR + lisinopril was no different than the effect of lisinopril + lisinopril. The primary analysis was based on an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with a model adjusting for treatment, stratification by hypertension class, region, and baseline value, at a 0.05 level of significance.
