Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (i) Changes in home blood pressure from before to after administration in the morning or before bedtime (early-morning, nighttime, and before bedtime blood pressure and heart rate) and the effect of the time of administration of olmesartan on Na excretion (ii) Effect of morning and pre-bedtime administration on blood-pressure variability (ME difference, mean ME, and day-by-day blood pressure variability) | — |
