16. ACCOMPLISH Main Findings Fixed-dose forced titration of two drug combinations (ACEI/CCB or ACEI/HCTZ) achieved BP control in 80% of participants – the highest control rate ever seen in a large outcome trial in hypertension ACEI/CCB combination reduced primary CV endpoint by 20% The ambulatory BP substudy confirmed same BP control in ACEI/CCB and ACEI/HCTZ arms Treatment with ACEI/CCB reduced the secondary renal endpoint (doubling of se-creatinine or ESRD) Benefits of ACEI/CCB combination was homogenous through main subgroups of non-diabetics, diabetics and high-risk diabetics
