Group Assignment: QUARTET LDQT vs. Candesartan

variableRole: Exposure

comparatorCategory: Candesartan

observed: Group Assignment: Patients randomized to the intervention arm took a once daily ultra-low-dose quadruple combination therapy (QUARTET LDQT). The LDQT is an overencapsulated combination pill comprising four types of blood pressure lowering medications each at ¼ standard doses. QUARTET includes candesartan 2mg, amlodipine besylate 1.25mg, indapamide 0.625mg, and bisoprolol 2.5mg. The individual components are currently approved and marketed within the United States. QUARTET LDQT: Ultra-low-dose combination therapy comprising four different blood pressure lowering drugs at 1/4 dosages. Taken once daily for 12 weeks. vs. Patients randomized to the comparison arm took a once daily 8mg candesartan. Candesartan: Standard monotherapy of 8mg candesartan. Taken once daily for 12 weeks.
