Efficacy variables included a change in systolic and diastolic bloodpressure (DBP) from baseline and were followed up for every 3 months. Treatment-emergent adverse events were assessed.Results: A total of 60 hypertensive patients were analyzed (telmisartan [n=30] and telmisartan plus resveratrol [n=30]).
