The primary endpoint is the % of pt. with a 10% decrease in seating bp. The secondary endpoint is the actual reduction in bp. The alpha is 0. 05, beta is 0. 2, and a 15% reduction in the primary endpoint with a sample size of 250 pt. 12 weeks, the avg reduction in bp was 22 mmhg in the biopril group and 10 mmghg in the hctz grp.
