Brief summary:
This study will test the relationship between CBP (central blood pressure) and PBP (peripheral blood pressure) effects after single and multiple doses of Isosorbide mononitrate extended release (ISMN ER) or Amlodipine besylate in participants with hypertension.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants received a dose-matched Placebo capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 1, followed by a ISMN ER 30 mg capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 2, followed by Amlodipine 10 mg (two 5 mg capsules) orally for 4 weeks during Period 3, with a 2-week washout between each period. arm 2: Participants received a ISMN ER 30 mg capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 1, followed by Amlodipine 10 mg (two 5 mg capsules) orally for 4 weeks during Period 2, followed by a dose-matched Placebo capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 3, with a 2-week washout between each period. arm 3: Participants received Amlodipine 10 mg (two 5 mg capsules) orally for 4 weeks during Period 1, followed by a dose-matched Placebo capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 2, followed by a ISMN ER 30 mg capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 3, with a 2-week washout between each period. arm 4: Participants received a ISMN ER 30 mg capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 1, followed by a dose-matched Placebo capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 2, followed by Amlodipine 10 mg (two 5 mg capsules) orally for 4 weeks during Period 3, with a 2-week washout between each period. arm 5: Participants received a dose-matched Placebo capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 1, followed by Amlodipine 10 mg (two 5 mg capsules) orally for 4 weeks during Period 2, followed by a ISMN ER 30 mg capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 3, with a 2-week washout between each period. arm 6: Participants received Amlodipine 10 mg (two 5 mg capsules) orally for 4 weeks during Period 1, followed by a ISMN ER 30 mg capsule orally for 4 weeks during Period 2, followed by a dose-matched Placebo capsule for 4 weeks during Period, with a 2-week washout between each period.
