Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Systolic Blood Pressure (MSSBP) After 12 Weeks of Treatment Ending With the Combination of Valturna and Amlodipine Versus Valturna Alone	Baseline, 12 weeks	Sitting BP was measured at trough (24 hours ± 3 hours postdose) and recorded at all study visits. At the first study visit, the patient had his/her BP measured in both arms; the arm in which the highest sitting DBP was found was used for all subsequent readings throughout the study. At each study visit, after the patient had been sitting for 5 minutes, SBP were measured 3 times using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1- to 2-minute intervals and the mean of those 3 measurements was used as the average sitting office BP for that visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in MSSBP After 12 Weeks of Treatment Ending With Between the Valturna + Chlorthalidone Combination and Valturna Alone	Baseline, 12 weeks	Sitting BP was measured at trough (24 hours ± 3 hours postdose) and recorded at all study visits. At the first study visit, the patient had his/her BP measured in both arms; the arm in which the highest sitting DBP was found was used for all subsequent readings throughout the study. At each study visit, after the patient had been sitting for 5 minutes, SBP were measured 3 times using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1- to 2-minute intervals and the mean of those 3 measurements was used as the average sitting office BP for that visit.
Change From Baseline in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (MSDBP) After 12 Weeks of Treatment	Baseline, 12 weeks	Sitting blood pressure (BP) was measured at trough (24 hours ± 3 hours postdose) and recorded at all study visits. At the first study visit, the patient had his/her BP measured in both arms; the arm in which the highest sitting DBP was found was used for all subsequent readings throughout the study. At each study visit, after the patient had been sitting for 5 minutes, DBP were measured 3 times using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer and appropriate size cuff. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1- to 2-minute intervals and the mean of those 3 measurements was used as the average sitting office BP for that visit.
Percentage of Responders After Treatment	Baseline, 12 weeks	Responders are defined as patients with MSSBP \<130 mmHg or a decrease from baseline in MSSBP of ≥20 mmHg
Percentage of Patients Achieving Blood Pressure Control After Treatment	12 weeks	Patient with blood pressure control is defined as patients achieving MSSBP \<130 mmHg and MSDBP \<80 mmHg.
Number of Patients With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death to Assess Safety and Tolerability of Treatment With Valturna and Chlorthalidone or Valturna and Amlodipine Versus Valturna Alone	12 weeks
