Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Essential Hypertension

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Arotinolol Hydrochloride and Metoprolol succinate on morning blood pressure, heart rate and target organ damage in patients with essential hypertension. To provide evidence for hypertension treatment.

A group: Arotinolol Hydrochloride, oral, 5-15mg, bid for 12 weeks. B group: Metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablet, oral, 23.75-71.25mg, qd for 12 weeks.

Detailed Description

Compare the efficacy and safety of Arotinolol Hydrochloride and Metoprolol succinate on morning blood pressure, heart rate and target organ damage in patients with essential hypertension.
