The program, which will enroll over 29,000 patients, will examine the preventive effects of telmisartan, either alone or in combination with the ACE inhibitor ramipril, on stroke, heart attack, cardiovascular death and hospitalization due to congestive heart failure.

Clinical trials have already convincingly shown that sustained management of hypertension significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, heart failure, stroke and heart-related deaths.

Among the most effective medicines available to physicians is telmisartan, a medicine belonging to the angiotensin II receptor blocker class of drugs.
