| Pairwise Comparison of Aliskiren/Amlodipine 150/5 mg vs. Aliskiren 150 mg on Change in Mean Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure (msDBP) | The arm in which the highest sitting diastolic pressures were found at study entry was the arm used for all subsequent readings. An automated BP measurement device and appropriate size cuff were used to measure arterial sitting blood pressure (BP) at trough with the arm supported at the level of the heart.
