I samtlige af behandlingsgrupperne fik patienterne typisk mellem 2 og 4 antihypertensive stoffer (fx diuretikum, betablokker, alfablokker) for at opnå en foruddefineret blodtryksværdi på ≤ 135/ 85 mmHg eller en 10 mmHg reduktion i systolisk tryk, hvis baseline var > 160 mmHg.
Patients in all treatment groups typically received between 2 and 4 antihypertensive agents (e. g., diuretics, beta blockers, alpha blockers) to reach a predefined blood pressure goal of ≤ 135/ 85 mmHg or a 10 mmHg reduction in systolic pressure if baseline was > 160 mmHg.
