Abstract:
Aim: To evaluate the impact of AGTR1 A1166C (rs5186) on the response to candesartan in patients with heart failure. Materials & methods: Prospective, multicentre, open-label study. We studied 299 symptomatic patients with heart failure presenting a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%. Results: Reductions in the primary end points of natriuretic peptides were not significantly associated with AGTR1 A1166C. Nevertheless, carrying the 1166C allele was associated with a greater compensatory increase in renin activity (p = 0.037) after 16 weeks of treatment with candesartan and a more modest effect on aldosterone concentrations (p = 0.022). Conclusion: AGTR1 1166C carriers may experience a greater long-term compensatory renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system activation following treatment with candesartan. Whether these associations ultimately influence clinical outcomes requires investigation. Clinicaltrials.gov : NCT00400582
