TL;DR: This data indicates that ambulatory blood pressure correlates more closely than clinic BP with the organ damage of hypertension and whether ABP predicts development or regression of hypertension-related morbidity and mortality is still under investigation.

TL;DR: This study shows for the first time that long-term treatment with the long-acting calcium channel blocker manidipine is as effective as treatment with amlodipine, has a better tolerability profile, and induces greater improvement in quality of life than amlODipine.

TL;DR: Nicardipine is able to induce a regression of functional and/or structural changes in the large arteries of hypertensive patients, and the observed improvement in forearm hemodynamics persisted.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of trandolapril on 24-hour blood pressure in patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension, and the differences between the lower treatment, versus the higher pre- and post-treatment, values were all statistically significant.

TL;DR: It is shown that lisinopril, but not amlodipine, is able to reduce urinary excretion of albumin in patients with essential hypertension independently of its effective antihypertensive properties.
