Response - NO
Brief Summary   Calcium channel blockers are the most commonly used antihypertensive agents. The three approved agents in use commonly are amlodipine, Cilnidipine and Azelnidipine. There is no head to head multicenter comparative study of these agents

This is a parallel arm open labelled observational multicenter study of mild to moderate hypertension. Both newly diagnosed and known cases of hypertension are included.  

The objective is to compare primarily the BP lowering quantified by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring response of these three aforementioned drugs over a period of 8 weeks(+/-one week)
Apart from previous use of these drugs, important confounders like irregular pulse, night shift have been excluded. 

Secondary outcomes are change in urinary albumin creatinine ratio over three months, change in the dipping pattern and changes in LA strain in a subgroup of patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. Adverse outcomes to drugs are also noted.

The expected conclusion will show the comparative efficacy and safety of these three calcium channel blockers in Indian patients.
