What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy (Change of Systolic Blood Pressure)

    Change from baseline in 24h systolic blood pressure (BP) at week 8

    Time frame: baseline to 8 weeks

  2. Efficacy (Change of Diastolic Blood Pressure)

    Change from baseline in 24h diastolic blood pressure (BP) at week 8

    Time frame: baseline to 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Tolerability Scale

    Safety and tolerability of Micardis® in the treatment of patients with hypertension over 8 weeks, using 10 point Likert scale with worst score=1, best score=10

    Time frame: 8 weeks
