Study summary

The CandLE study with at maximum daily dose of 32 mg candesartan or 16/12.5 mg candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide has the objective to evaluate under naturalistic conditions, i.e. under routine medical care conditions, the impact of the antihypertensive therapy with candesartan or candesartan/HCT on relevant medical parameters related to the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as well as the efficacy and tolerability of candesartan or candesartan/HCT in subjects suffering from essential hypertension..

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. to estimate under naturalistic conditions the impact of the antihypertensive therapy with candesartan or candesartan/HCT on pre-post change from Visit 1 to Visit 2 of Sokolow-Lyon index, Cornell index and Left Ventricular Mass Index.

    Time frame: app. 3 monthly

Secondary outcomes

  1. to estimate the change of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, separately by the (maximum) prescribed daily dose of candesartan or candesartan/ HCT

    Time frame: app. 3 monthly

  2. to gain further insight into the occurrence of unknown, unexpected and/or rarely occurring adverse events (AE) by estimating the incidence under naturalistic conditions.

    Time frame: app. 3 monthly
