Brief Summary

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

Assess that for an equivalent brachial blood pressure (BP)lowering, a fixed dose combination amlodipine/valsartan based regimen reduces central aortic BP pressure to a larger extent than an atenolol/amlodipine combination based regimen.

Valsartan/amlodipine 160/10 mg

Patients were treated with valsartan/amlodipine 80/5 mg for 8 weeks followed by forced uptitration to valsartan/amlodipine 160/10 mg for 16 weeks. All doses were taken orally once daily in the morning, except on days when clinic visits were scheduled.
