Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in 24-hour Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)	baseline, 6 months	24-hour mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the mean arterial pressure over 24 hours \[ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) will be used to record blood pressure every 20 min for 24 hours, and all recordings will be averaged to obtain 24-hour MAP\]. 24-hour MAP will be assessed at baseline and at 6 months, and the change between baseline and 6-months will be reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Target Blood Pressure	baseline	Target blood pressure is 24-hour mean arterial pressure (MAP) at less than the 50th percentile.
