Official Title:	RESPECT: Observational, Prospective, Open-label, Multi-center Study Evaluating the Antihypertensive Effect of Treatment With Telmisartan (Alone or in Fixed Combination With HCTZ) in General Practitioner and Specialist Practice in Hypertensive Patients With High and Very High Cardiovascular Risk According to the ESH/ESC Guidelines 2007 Who Are Uncontrolled Under Current Treatment.

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 ]
Proportion 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 Inwhom 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
