NO
To examine whether candesartan, an ARB, has antiarrhythmic effects on paroxysmal AF beyond its BP lowering effects in comparison with amlodipine, a dyhydropyridine CCB, in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and hypertension
Safety,Efficacy
the difference in the number of days with symptomatic and asymptomatic AF recorded on transtelephonic monitoring during the last 1 month of a 1-year follow-up between candesartan and amlodipine groups
(1) cardiovascular events, which include cardiac death, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, and congestive heart failure or major bleeding requiring hospitalization (2) the development of paroxysmal AF into persistent AF lasting 7days or more, and/or requiring electrical conversion (3) quality of life assessed by the AFQLQ (Atrial Fibrillation specific Quality of Life Questionnaire) (4) left atrial dimension in ultrasound echocardiography (5) the number of days with symptomatic TTM-recorded AF (6) the time-course of the number of days with TTM-recorded AF per month after entering the study

Treatment
Medicine |
ARB Group: candesartan will be prescribed with an initial dose of 8 mg/day (maximal dose 12 mg/day)
CCB Group: amlodipine will be prescribed with an initial dose of 2.5 mg/day (maximal dose 5 mg/day)
18 | years-old | <= |
Not applicable |
Male and Female
Patients entering this study need to meet both of the following criteria: (1) a history of paroxysmal AF within 6 months, and (2) hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure (BP) > 140 mmHg and/or a diastolic BP > 90 mmHg. Paroxysmal AF should be a spontaneously terminating episode demonstrated on ECG.
The exclusion criteria are (1) normal BP (systolic/diastolic BP < 140/90 mmHg), (2) a history of vasospastic angina pectoris, (3) persistent AF with a duration of 1 week or longer, and/or permanent AF, (4) AF that has occurred within 1 month of the onset of myocardial infarction, (5) transient AF associated with cardiac surgery, (6) contraindication for anticoagulation therapy, (7) pregnancy or the possibility of pregnancy, and breast feeding, (8) patient age of 18 or less, and (9) a judgment by the attending physician that patient participation would be inappropriate
