Participant Flow

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the Lifestyle education tool (Tool/No Tool) for weight reduction on blood pressure control during a six-month treatment with Micardis® / MicardisPlus®. Patients were designated to participate or not participate in a Lifestyle education tool by the investigator under general practice conditions.

A total of 1856 were entered into this trial and 1841 were analysed. For 15 patients case report forms were not available or not usable for analysis
