Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: amlodipine/valsartan
All patients will receive amlodipine/valsartan 5/160 mg daily in screening and up titrated to amlodipine/valsartan 10/160 mg daily at visit 2 (day 30) if their hypertension can not be controlled. The duration of treatment period is 8 weeks.

Drug: amlodipine/valsartan
Fixed combination of amlodipine and valsartan in tablet; 5/160/mg, 10/160 mg |
- Percentage of Participants With Blood Pressure (BP) <140/90 mmHg at Week 4 and 8 [ Time Frame: At week 4 and 8 ]Control rate of BP defined as BP lower than 140/90 mmHg at office visits
- Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) at Baseline, Week 4 and 8 [ Time Frame: baseline, week 4, week 8 ]Change in systolic blood pressure measured in office from baseline at week 4 and 8.
- Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at Baseline, Week 4 and 8 [ Time Frame: baseline, week 4, week 8 ]Change in diastolic blood pressure measured in office from baseline at week 4 and week 8.
- Percentage of Participants With High Sodium Intake and Blood Pressure (BP) <140/90 mmHg at Week 4 and 8 [ Time Frame: At week 4 and 8 ]Control rate of BP is defined as blood pressure lower than 140/90 mmHg at office visits in patients with high sodium intake (>100 mEq/day)
- SBP and DBP in Patients With High Sodium Intake at Week 4 and 8 [ Time Frame: At week 4 and 8 ]Change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured in office from baseline at week 4 and 8.
