Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of long-term use (up to 18 weeks) of valsartan in children 6 months to 5 years old with hypertension.

Primary Outcome

Sitting blood pressure was measured using a calibrated standard sphygmomanometer after the participant remained in sitting position for 5 minutes at clinic during the visit. The repeat sitting measurements were made at 1-2 minute intervals and the mean of three sitting systolic blood pressure (SSBP) measurements were used as the average sitting office blood pressure for that visit. Negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
