The intensive care group
The usual care group
The intensive care group is targeted at ≤ 130 mmHg of systolic blood pressure, and treatment is done by changing the current treatment to the investigational product. In case of treatment with the investigational product (IP), the IP titration period is total six months. According to an IP titration scheme(Amlodipine 5 mg or Losartan 50 mg -> Losartan and Amlodipine 5/50 mg -> Losartan and Amlodipine 5/100 mg -> Amlodipine/Losartan/Chlorthalidone 5/100/12.5 mg), IP is successively modified until the target blood pressure is reached, and IP will remain the same after the target blood pressure scope for each group is reached. An IP titration interval is decided by the investigator depending on the subject's condition.
