Why the study?
Does single-drug antihypertensive therapy improve blood pressure control compared to placebo in men with untreated diastolic blood pressure of 95 to 109 mm Hg?
Does single-drug antihypertensive therapy improve blood pressure control compared to placebo in men with untreated diastolic blood pressure of 95 to 109 mm Hg?
Single-drug antihypertensive therapy is effective in a majority of stage 1 to 2 diastolic hypertensive men, with diltiazem showing the highest overall success rate and important age-by-race differences in response.

Single-drug antihypertensives control BP in most men with stage 1-2 diastolic hypertension; extends evidence for agent-specific efficacy and age-race response differences.
