Study summary

The primary objective was to evaluate, through the use of Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM), the degree of BP control in the early morning hours after 8 weeks of treatment in patients with essential hypertension under treatment with Micardis®, Telmisartan or Micardis Plus®, Telmisartan hydrochlorothiazide.

The co-primary endpoints were the degree of BP control, and change from baseline until study end in mean systolic blood pressure (mSBP) and mean diastolic blood pressure (mDBP) HBPM in the early morning hours after 8 weeks of treatment with Micardis®, Telmisartan or Micardis Plus®, Telmisartan hydrochlorothiazide.

Secondary endpoints were office BP control rates, office BP response rates, and reduction in mSBP and mDBP Office blood pressure measurement (OBPM) from baseline to final visit, discontinuations and tolerability

Hypertensive population under real life clinical practice in an ambulatory setting

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients male or female between 18 and 80 years of age

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pre-menopausal women who have no birth control, who are pregnant or nursing

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of degree of Blood Pressure (BP) control in the early morning hours

    Time frame: 8 weeks of treatment

  2. Change from baseline in mSBP and mDBP by HBPM in the early morning

    BP control during the morning time-periods (6:00 to 11:59), BP \< 135/85 mmHg (HBPM: mean of morning measurements)

    Time frame: Baseline, after 8 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in office BP control rates

    Time frame: Baseline, after 8 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in office BP response rates

    Time frame: Baseline, after 8 weeks

  3. Reduction in mSBP and mDBP by OBPM

    Time frame: Baseline, after 8 weeks

  4. Number of patients with adverse events

    Time frame: up to 8 weeks

  5. Global Assessment of tolerability by investigator on a 6-point scale

    Time frame: after 8 weeks

  6. Global assessment efficacy by investigator on 6-point scale

    Time frame: after 8 weeks
