Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Blood pressure as measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring at baseline and 3 months 2. Blood pressure as measured in the clinic (sphygmomanometer) at baseline and 3 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Blood pressure measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and in the clinic (sphygmomanometer) at 6 months and 1 year 2. Requirement of antihypertensive medications (at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year) measured using patient records 3. Metabolic parameters at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year: 3.1. Height (cm), Weight (kg), BMI (kg/m²), waist circumference (cm), visceral fat (MRI) 3.2. Lipid profile lipoprotein, apolipoprotein, insulin resistance (fasting blood sugar and insulin level), thyroid profile, testosterone, measured by a blood test 4. Inflammatory markers. Complete blood count with ESR, hsCRP, uric acid at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. 5. Hypertension mediated organ damage (Brain, cardiac, kidney and eye) assessment: 5.1. Cardiac parameters. ECG, Echocardiography, carotid Intimal Media Thickness (cIMT), NT pro BNP. Baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year 5.2. Eye assessment. Fundus examination (for hypertensive retinopathy). baseline, 1 year and 2 years 5.3.

Major adverse cardiac outcomes such as occurrence of MI, stroke if any throughout the study period measured using patient records 7. Safety outcomes (adverse effects, abnormal changes in blood investigations, frequency of uncontrolled hypertension, hospital admissions due to uncontrolled blood pressure etc) 1 year measured using patient records 8. Improvement in quality of life. SF-36. Baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year 9. Treatment satisfaction. Treatment satisfaction questionnaire. Baseline, 3 mont
