摘要
Background and objective: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) strongly predicts cardiovascular risk and is an important factor to evaluate in studies of anti-hypertensive treatments. A recent randomized controlled study has shown that the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (angiotensin receptor blocker [ARB]) olmesartan medoxomil (hereafter olmesartan) combined with the calcium channel antagonist (calcium channel blocker) amlodipine can control SBP in a majority of patients with moderate-to-severe hypertension. The aim of this report is to present results from a post hoc analysis of this study to further evaluate the effects of this combination on SBP.
