Treatments
Studied treatment |
Diltiazem 180–360 mg diltiazem daily at step one
In step two, an angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor was added, and in step three, a diuretic or alpha-blocker was added to the ACE inhibitor. Any other antihypertensive compound could be added as step four.
|
Control treatment |
thiazide diuretic or
a beta-blocker at step one
in step two, the two were combined. In step three an ACE inhibitor or alpha-blocker was added. In step four, any other antihypertensive compound could be added except a calcium antagonist
