LCZ696

Participants were treated with one LCZ696 100 mg tablet and one placebo of LCZ696 every day (qd) for 4 weeks along with placebo of Olmesartan 10 mg capsule qd. Participants were then up-titrated to LCZ 200 mg tablet and one placebo of LCZ696 qd for 6 weeks along with placebo of Olmesartan 20 mg capsule qd. Participants, who did not achieve their goal BP, were uptitrated to 2 LCZ696 200 mg tablets (LCZ696 400 mg) qd for 4 weeks along with placebo of Olmesartan 40 mg capsule qd.
