NCT00454662

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate which combination therapy is more effective in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events in Japanese elderly high-risk hypertensive patients: AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist/calcium channel blocker or AT1 subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist/low dose diuretic.
