Nifedipine GITS and Amlodipine Besylate on Recovery of Blood Pressure Rhythm and Arterial Stiffness

Summary

This trial evaluates the effects of Nifedipine GITS and Amlodipine besylate on blood pressure rhythm restoration and arterial stiffness in young and middle-aged non-dipper hypertensives. Half of participants will receive Nifedipine GITS, half of half will take medicine in the morning or at night. While the other half participants will take amlodipine besylate, whom will also be assigned taking medicine in the morning or at night. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and arterial stiffness examination will be performed before and after pharmaceutical intervention.
