The Study on Cognition and Prognosis in the Elderly (SCOPE): principal results of a randomized double-blind intervention trial
TLDR
In elderly hypertensive patients, a slightly more effective blood pressure reduction during candesartan-based therapy, compared with control therapy, was associated with a modest, statistically non-significant, reduction in major cardiovascular events and with a marked reduction in non-fatal stroke.

Calcium Antagonist Lacidipine Slows Down Progression of Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis: Principal Results of the European Lacidipine Study on Atherosclerosis (ELSA), a Randomized, Double-Blind,…
TLDR
The greater efficacy of lacidipine on carotid IMT progression and number of plaques per patient, despite a smaller ambulatory blood pressure reduction, indicates an antiatherosclerotic action of lacIDipine independent of its antihypertensive action.

Reversal of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients. A metaanalysis of 109 treatment studies.
TLDR
Metaanalysis of all available studies that have evaluated the effect of antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy on left ventricular structure examined by echocardiography shows that ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and calcium antagonists all reduce LVM by reversing wall hypertrophy, and that the effect is most pronounced with ACE inhibitors.
