  • •Hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure 140 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure 90 mmHg (defined as the disapperance of all sound [Korotkoff Phase V] or receiving anti-hypertensive treatment. Blood pressure should be measured after sitting the patient quietly for 3 minutes).

  • •Microalbuminuria (defined as either, Albumin creatinine ratio > than = to 2.5 mg/mmol, or Albumin excretion rate on a timed collection > than = to 20 mcg/min (> than = to 30 mg/24hrs) on two successive occasions, or a positive micral or other strip test).
  • •Macroalbuminuria (defined as either; Albustix or other dipstick evidence of gross proteinuria, Albumin creatinine ratio > than = to 25 mg/mmol; or Albumin excretion rate on a timed collection > than = 200 mcg/min (> than = 300 mg/24hrs) on two sucessive occasions).
  • •Current smoker

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Any major Coronary event prior to entry into the study

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time from randomization to the occurrence of a primary clinical endpoint

i.e. major coronary event or CABG or other coronary revascularization procedure

or unstable angina or resuscitated cardiac arrest or stroke.

Secondary Outcomes
