Pharmaco-epidemiological Study Describing the Hypertensive Population Treated With Telmisartan and Conditions of Use by Medical Practitioners and Patients

Primary objective: to characterize hypertensive patients treated for at least 1 month with Telmisartan (alone or in combination with other drugs) in order to define the beneficiary population (those actually receiving the treatment).

Secondary objectives:

• to describe the patients' blood pressure values (when self-monitored) and satisfaction with the treatment (ease of use, efficacy, safety) on the basis of a patient self-questionnaire, filled out 4 weeks after consultation.
• to compare the characteristics of the beneficiary population to those of the initial target population defined in the SPC (summary of product characteristics) for Telmisartan
