New high blood pressure drugs
Further details about the results of the study are not yet available, but the researchers said the cardiovascular benefits of the newer treatment were "significant".
The older treatment strategy is based on the beta-blocker, atenolol and the thiazide diuretic, bendroflumethiazide.
