  Purpose

To assess the efficacy of telmisartan in hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk


Condition Intervention

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Patients With Blood Pressure < 140/90 mm Hg [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    % of high risk patients with Blood Pressure < 140/90 mm Hg


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Patients With Blood Pressure < 130/80 mm Hg [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Absolute Blood Pressure Decrease [ Time Frame: baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    systolic blood pressure

  • Change in Concomitant Antihypertensive Drugs Given at Study Entry [ Time Frame: baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Percentage of patients who had a change in concomitant antihypertensive drugs prescribed at initiation and after 12 weeks. The antihypertensive drugs were changed (which is stopped, titration of dose and started) or not.

  • Percentage of Patients in Whom the Prescriber Decide to Further Lower the Blood Pressure to < 130/80 mm Hg [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of Prescribers Who Adhered to European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology (ESH/ESC) Guidelines 2007 [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Blood pressure should be reduced to at least below 140/90 mm Hg (systolic/diastolic),and to lower values, if tolerated, in all hypertensive patients. Target blood pressure should be lower than 130/80 mmHg in diabetics and in high or very high risk patients
