Brief Summary

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

We, the investigators at Holstebro Hospital, want to test the hypothesis that eprosartan reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in patients with essential hypertension - during baseline conditions and after activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
