Hypertension
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the observational study is to ascertain the degree of blood pressure control in the early-morning hours after 8 weeks of treatment with Telmisartan/Telmisartan+Hydrochlorothiazide and during 44 weeks of follow-up, in patients with hypertension using home blood pressure measurements.
