Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Multicenter, prospective, randomised, open study comparing the effect of the following two strategies in hypertensive subjects \> 55 years and poorly controlled (systolic blood pressure \>= 150 mmHg) by antihypertensive treatment:

* usual strategy: reduction of systolic blood pressure to below 140 mmHg, independently of diastolic blood pressure levels;
* intensive strategy: reduction of systolic blood pressure to below 130 mmHg, independently of diastolic blood pressure levels.

During the initial run in period two qualifying visits at distance of 7-14 days will be carried out to establish whether blood pressure remains uncontrolled (systolic blood pressure \>=150 mmHg)by current drug treatment. At the end of the second visit eligible patients will be admitted to the study and the following examinations will be carried out: clinical visit, routine laboratory tests, 12-lead ECG. At this point eligible patients will be randomised to one of the two blood pressure goals outlined above.

Subsequent clinical visits will be carried out at 4 month-intervals up to the end of the study (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 months).
