Results of this exploratory investigation support the event ascertainment methods developed for ALLHAT, specifically for HF events.
However, with its large number of endpoints, resources available to ALLHAT precluded more than modest confirmatory event documentation.
The rationale and design of ALLHAT are described in detail elsewhere [ 1 ] . Briefly, those eligible for randomization had systolic blood pressure (SBP) of at least 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure of at least 90 mm Hg, or took medication for hypertension, and had at least one other risk factor for CHD events.
Clinical use of more objective measures, including noninvasive and/or invasive tools for the measurement of left ventricular function, offers a means of establishing and quantifying systolic failure in cases clinically suggestive of HF [ 7 10 ] . Among the ejection fractions reported in the ALLHAT events that were reviewed, the majority fell at or below 40%, indicating some degree of systolic dysfunction.
At that time, the results of the ALLHAT trial were unexpected, given the potential association between high dose diuretics and the risk of sudden death [ 22 ] , and the favorable effect of peripheral alpha-1 antagonists on lipid profiles [ 14 ] . Comparing data from other studies suggests the possibility that the beneficial effects of peripheral alpha-1 antagonists for lowering blood pressure may be nullified by a negative effect, or that other antihypertensives have positive actions beyond their antihypertensive effects.
