A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Combination Treatment of Fimasartan/Atorvastatin in Patients With Essential Hypertension and Dyslipidemia

• Fimasartan 120mg (Drug): Fimasartan 120mg will be administrated once daily for 8 weeks treatment period
• Atorvastatin 40mg (Drug): Atorvastatin 40mg will be administrated once daily for 8 weeks treatment period
• Placebo for Fimasartan 120mg (Drug): Placebo for Fimasartan 120mg will be administrated once daily for 8 weeks treatment period
• Placebo for Atorvastatin 40mg (Drug): Placebo for Atorvastatin 40mg will be administrated once daily for 8 weeks treatment period

Primary outcomes

• SiSBP [8weeks from Baseline Visit]: The change in Sitting systolic blood pressure(SiSBP) from baseline in the test group(Fimasartan 120mg/Atorvastatin 40mg) at Week 8 compared to the Active Comparator group 2(Atorvastatin 40mg)
• LDL-C [8weeks from Baseline Visit]: The change in LDL-C from baseline in the test group at Week 8 compared to the active comparator group 1(fimasartan 120 mg)

Secondary outcomes

• SiSBP [8weeks from Baseline Visit]: The change in Sitting systolic blood pressure(SiSBP) from baseline in the test group(Fimasartan 120mg/Atorvastatin 40mg) at Week 8 compared to the Active Comparator group 1(Fimasartan 120mg)
• LDL-C [8weeks from Baseline Visit]: The change in LDL-C from baseline in the test group(Fimasartan 120mg/Atorvastatin 40mg) at Week 8 compared to the Active Comparator group 2(Atorvastatin 40mg)
