Summary

Inflammation of the blood vessel plays an important role in the development and growth of a dilated abdominal aorta. An elevated blood pressure leads to an increase in inflammation, therefore blood pressure lowering is an important part of the treatment of patients with a dilated abdominal aorta who also have an elevated blood pressure. In the investigators study the investigators compare the anti-inflammatory effects of 2 different blood pressure lowering strategies. The investigators hypothesize that both strategies will decrease inflammation, however the investigators believe the total decrease of inflammation depends on the type of blood pressure lowering medication used.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Aliskiren

Starting dose: Aliskiren 150 mg p.o, if hypertension is insufficiently treated Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg p.o. tablet once daily for maximally 12 months can be added, the next step is to add increase the dosage of Aliskiren to 300 mg p.o. tablet once daily until maximally 12 months after baseline, the final step to take in case hypertension is still present is to increase Hydrochlorothiazide to 25 mg p.o. tablet once daily until maximally 12 months after baseline.

DRUG

Amlodipine

Starting dose: amlodipine 5 mg p.o, if hypertension is insufficiently treated Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg p.o. tablet once daily for maximally 12 months can be added, the next step is to add increase the dosage of amlodipine to 10 mg p.o. tablet once daily until maximally 12 months after baseline, the final step to take in case hypertension is still present is to increase Hydrochlorothiazide to 25 mg p.o. tablet once daily until maximally 12 months after baseline.
