| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. To achieve a target blood pressure level that is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events.Timepoint: The patients will be assessed clinically at every 2 weeks i.e., at 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 84, The subjective and objective clinical observations will be recorded in the follow-up sheet. | — |
