The African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension was a multicenter trial comparing the effects of 2 levels of blood pressure control (usual or low goal) and initial therapy with metoprolol, ramipril, or amlodipine. We examined effects of treatment-group assignment on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures and reported symptoms during 4 years of follow-up.
