Methods: The blood pressure (BP) trends are analyzed in 13,449 patients with baseline and 24 months data, and in 12,570 patients with baseline and 30 months data. Results: Ninety two % received antihypertensive therapy prior to enrollment. The (entry) BP in treated patients was 153.5/ 86.9 mmHg compared to 168.1.8/95.3 mmHg in untreated patients.
