- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Patients That Achieved a Blood Pressure Goal of Less Than 130/85 (Olmesartan 20 mg Monotherapy) 4 - 9 wks of olmesartan monotherapy Number of patients that achieved a blood pressure (BP) goal of less than 130/85 in the first group (olmesartan monotherapy 20 mg). If BP was \> or = to 140/90 at 4,8, or 9 wks the participant went to next level for an additional 4-9 weeks at the next medication level
Number of Patients That Achieved a Blood Pressure Goal of Less Than 130/85 in First Titrated Group (Olmesartan 20 mg + 12.5 mg Hydrochlorothiazide) 4 to 9 weeks on combination therapy Number of patients that achieved a blood pressure goal of less than 130/85 in first titrated group (olmesartan 20 mg + 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide)If BP was \> or = to 140/90 at 4,8, or 9 wks the participant went to next level of medication for an additional 4-9 weeks
Number of Patients That Achieved a Blood Pressure Goal of Less Than 130/85 in Second Titrated Group (Olmesartan 40 mg + 25 mg Hydrochlorothiazide) 4 to 9 weeks Number of patients that achieved a blood pressure goal of less than 130/85 in second titrated group (olmesartan 40 mg + 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide). If BP was \> or = to 140/90 at 4,8, or 9 wks the participant went to next level of medication for an additional 4-9 weeks.
Number of Patients That Achieved a Blood Pressure Goal of Less Than 130/85 in Third Titrated Group (Olmesartan + Hydrochorothiazide + Amlodipine) 4 - 9 weeks Number of patients that achieved a blood pressure goal of less than 130/85 in third titrated group (olmesartan 40 mg + 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide + amlodipine 5 mg). This combination was maintained as long as the participant's blood pressure remained within predefined parameters. If not, participant discontinued for lack of efficacy.
