Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The population for this current study will include stage 1 and stage 2 hypertensive patients who are newly diagnosed or didn't have treatment during the last 3 months and patients who are currently treated but uncontrolled on present monotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment with valsartan versus a treatment with amlodipine in reaching blood pressure control after 14 weeks of treatment.
