Chronic Hemodialysis (ESRD)
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Chronic Hemodialysis (ESRD) focused on measuring hemodialysis, ESRD, Cardiovascular Disease, Isosorbide Dinitrate, Hydralazine

Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Hydralazine/Isorsorbide Dinitrate
Placebo
Hydralazine/Isorsorbide Dinitrate (ISD/HY) will be administered with a target dose of 40 mg of ISD and 75 mg of Hydralazine 3x/daily. Doses will be titrated between weeks 0-4 and may be decreased as necessary for treatment of adverse events. Allowable Dosage Forms: ISD/HY 10 mg/10-3x/day ISD/HY 20 mg/35mg-3x/day ISD/HY 40 mg/75 mg-3x/day
Placebo will be administered Doses will be titrated between weeks 0-4 and may be decreased as necessary for treatment of adverse events.
