They were randomized to valsartan (V) 8 mg/amlodipine (A) 5 mg combination or to V 160 mg monotherapy for 12 weeks and every 2 weeks, there was a titration in nonresponder patients: in the combination group V/A was progressively increased to V 160/A 5 mg; V160/A 7.5 mg; V160/A 10 mg; V 240/A 10 mg, and V 320/A 10 mg. In the monotherapy group, the regimen was progressively modified as following: V 240 mg; V 320 mg; V 320/A 5 mg; V 320/A 7.5 mg, and V 320/A 10 mg. The mean time to achieve the BP goal was shorter in patients randomized to combination therapy compared to those randomized to conventional monotherapy (4.7 +/- 2.7 weeks vs. 7.1 +/- 3.9 weeks, respectively, p < 0.001). The percentage of patients who achieved target BP in the combination approach group statistically exceeded that of the monotherapy treated one already after 2 weeks of treatment (30.5 vs. 14.9%, p < 0.01) and again after 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks of treatment. Only at 12 weeks the percentage of normalized patients was similar in the two treatment groups (78.8% vs. 75.3%, ns). These results suggest that initial therapy with a V/A combination approach may be more quickly effective than a conventional sequential monotherapy approach in achieving target BP in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome.</p>","PeriodicalId":286988,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Hypertension (New York, N.y. : 1993)","volume":" ","pages":"245-50"},"PeriodicalIF":12.3,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3109/10641960903265212","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29149321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
