Atacand is the only Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) to increase survival in chronic heart failure patients with left ventricular dysfunction, whether or not they are taking an ACE-inhibitor. "This new data differentiates Atacand from other ARBs and provides AstraZeneca with a unique opportunity to make the benefits of the drug available to a wider population of patients with chronic heart failure" said Gunnar Olsson, AstraZeneca's Vice President Cardiovascular Therapy Area The Candesartan in Heart failure - Assessment of Reduction in Mortality and morbidity (CHARM) Programme, which recruited 7,601 patients, is the largest ever trial programme conducted in heart failure with an AT1-receptor blocker. Patients with classic symptomatic chronic heart failure - depressed left ventricular (LV) systolic function (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) < 40 per cent), were randomised into one of two studies - either an ACE-inhibitor intolerant population (CHARM-Alternative), or the population treated with ACE-inhibitors (CHARM-Added).
