Descriptive Information

Brief Title ^ICMJE

FOCUS (Nifedipine GITS's Effect on Central Pressure Assessed by Applanation Tonometry)

Official Title ^ICMJE

A Prospective, Open-label, Active-controlled, Randomized Study Comparing Nifedipine GITS Versus Valsartan Versus a Combination of Both on Central Blood Pressure in Inadequately Controlled Essential Hypertension.

Brief Summary

To determine whether the combination of nifedipine GITS and valsartan is more effective in reducing central blood pressure than nifedipine GITS or valsartan alone, and to determine whether nifedipine GITS is comparable to valsartan
