Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether, in patients at high cardiovascular risk (hypertension with metabolic syndrome), long-term (1-year) blood pressure control is most effective when based on home blood pressure telemonitoring and on the feedback to the patient by the doctor between visits, or when based only on blood pressure determination during quarterly office visits.
