Brief Summary

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

Primary:

* To evaluate the impact of irbesartan on endothelial function in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome.

Secondary:

* To evaluate the oxidative stress status in patients with hypertension with metabolic syndrome.
* To correlate the oxidative stress status with endothelial function in these patients.
* To evaluate the effect of irbesartan on the oxidative stress stage in patients with metabolic syndrome and to correlate it with the effect on endothelial function .
* To correlate the change in endothelial function and oxidative stress stage with the change of arterial pressure levels.
