- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Olmesartan (OM) higher dose compared to Olmesartan (OM) lower dose and amlodipine (AML) on the change in levels of the inflammatory marker hs-CRP 6 weeks for each treatment
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate the additional antihypertensive efficacy in blood pressure (BP) lowering, assessed by conventional BP measurement and 24-h ambulatory BP measurement (24-h ABPM) 6 weeks for each treatment
