of 2,101 patients in whom both Go6983 morning and evening home BP were measured before and after azelnidipine treatment. At baseline, 5.7 % (n = 120), 2.8 % (n = 58), 20.4 % (n = 429), and 71.1 % (n = 1,494) of patients were classified as having normal BP, normal BP with a morning BP surge pattern, morning-predominant hypertension, and sustained hypertension, respectively; at the endpoint, the corresponding values were 42.8 % (n = 899), 6.5 % (n = 136), 7.9 % (n = 166), and 42.8 % (n = 900), respectively. Of the patients with morning-predominant hypertension and sustained hypertension at baseline, 35.0 % and 42.6 %, respectively, were classified as having normal BP at the endpoint.

BP blood pressure The proportion of patients with normal BP increased from 5.7 % to 42.8 % after treatment, which was higher than the 37.9 % value reported in the Jichi Morning Hypertension Research (J-MORE) Study [13] (Fig. 5). The proportion of patients who achieved ME average of <135 mmHg increased from 8.5 % to 49.3 %, and the proportion of those who achieved ME difference of <15 mmHg increased from 76.8 % to 85.6 %. The study treatment was associated with a significant improvement in the patient distribution based on ME average and ME difference (p < 0.0001). Fig.
