NCT01613209

Brief Summary

The investigators want to find out whether a recently introduced combination of two blood pressure lowering agents (olmesartan and amlodipine) has a different blood pressure lowering effect than a single active substance. In addition the investigators want to find out whether there is a difference in the changes in blood pressure over the course of a day depending on the time when the medications are taken (in the morning or at night). Male and female patients over 18 years of age may participate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in ABPM (ambulatory blood pressure measurement) mean daytime systolic values and change in systolic OBPM (office blood pressure measurement).

    After 6 weeks therapy with a fixed combination of olmesartan and amlodipine compared to monotherapy with candesartan

    after six and after 12 weeks

  • change in systolic OBPM

    After 6 weeks therapy with a fixed combination of olmesartan and amlodipine compared to monotherapy with candesartan: change in systolic OPM.

    after 6 and after 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • change in diastolic OBPM

    after six and after 12 weeks

  • Change in systolic and diastolic ABPM night mean values

    after 6 weeks therapy with fixed combination of olmesartan and amlodipine

  • change in 24 hr mean values and diastolic day mean value

    after six and after 12 weeks

  • Distribution of patients over the four dipper types

    after six and after 12 weeks
