Centro Diabetico Ospedale di Marino, Italy.
OBJECTIVE: ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists may favorably affect
serum lipids and glucose metabolism. The primary aim of the Fosinopril
Versus Amlodipine Cardiovascular Events Randomized Trial (FACET) was to
compare the effects of fosinopril and amlodipine on serum lipids and
diabetes control in NIDDM patients with hypertension. Prospectively defined
cardiovascular events were assessed as secondary outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN
AND METHODS: Inclusion criteria included a diagnosis of NIDDM and
hypertension (systolic blood pressure of > 140 mmHg or diastolic blood
pressure of > 90 mmHg). Exclusion criteria included a history of
coronary heart disease or stroke, serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dl,
albuminuria > 40 micrograms/min, and use of lipid-lowering drugs,
aspirin, or antihypertensive agents other than beta-blockers or diuretics.
A total of 380 hypertensive diabetics were randomly assigned to open-label
fosinopril (20 mg/day) or amlodipine (10 mg/day) and followed for up to 3.5
years. If blood pressure was not controlled, the other study drug was
added. RESULTS: Both treatments were effective in lowering blood pressure.
At the end of follow-up, between the two groups there was no significant
difference in total serum cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, HbA1c, fasting
serum glucose, or plasma insulin. The patients receiving fosinopril had a
significantly lower risk of the combined outcome of acute myocardial
infarction, stroke, or hospitalized angina than those receiving amlodipine
(14/189 vs. 27/191; hazards ratio = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.26-0.95). CONCLUSIONS:
Fosinopril and amlodipine had similar effects on biochemical measures, but
the patients randomized to fosinopril had a significantly lower risk of
major vascular events, compared with the patients randomized to amlodipine.
