Study Summary
African American adults in the United States have the highest prevalence rate of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure in the world. African Americans with treatment resistant hypertension have higher levels of the enzyme - xanthine oxidase compared to Caucasians. This trial will test if administration of the xanthine oxidase inhibitor - Allopurinol (commonly used in the treatment of gout), given over a period of 8 weeks, will improve heart function, exercise ability and quality of life in African American Veterans with resistant hypertension.
Primary Outcome
Change from baseline in left ventricular diastolic function index: Normalized peak early diastolic filling rate (E) after 8-weeks of treatment with Allopurinol. (Range 1.5 - 3.0 end-diastolic velocity (EDV)/second)
