Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at 18 US sites over 4 months (September 2007 to December 2007) from each physician's clientele base. Approximately 150 eligible participants, men and women at least 18 years of age with hypertension or uncontrolled hypertension on current medication, were to receive active treatment

After placebo treatment, participants with a mean systolic blood pressure (SBP)≥140 mmHg and ≤199 mmHg or a mean diastolic BP (DBP)≥90 and ≤109 mmHg with a difference between mean SBPs ≤15 mmHg and a mean 8-hr daytime SBP of ≥135 mmHg and ≤199 mmHg, and mean 8-hr daytime DBP of \<110 mmHg by ambulatory BP monitoring were considered eligible.

Measure
Amlodipine and Olmesartan, if Necessary
All eligible participants began the active treatment period with amlodipine (Aml) 5 mg for Weeks 1-3. If blood pressure was greater than 120/80 at the end of 3 weeks, participants were titrated to the next regimen for weeks 4-6, and so on for weeks 7-9 and 10-12.
