Brief Summary
To determine whether impedance cardiography (ICG) parameters can predict favorable or unfavorable blood pressure (BP) response and time to BP control prior to initiation or intensification of specific antihypertensive drug classes and drug combinations, independent of initial BP levels.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
To determine if ICG can predict therapeutic response to antihypertensive medications
2009-2010
To confirm derivation phase of ICG prediction to therapeutic response of antihypertensive medications.
2010-2011
