Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether in patients with arterial hypertension treatment guidance using 24-hour blood pressure measurement results in better blood pressure control compared to treatment guidance using office blood pressure measurement
Detailed Description: Blood pressure control in arterial hypertension remains poor despite the availability of effective drug treatment Therefore strategies to increase blood pressure control are urgently needed 24 hour blood pressure is a better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than office blood pressure Furthermore the lower variability of measurements over time of 24 hour blood pressure could allow better adjustment of antihypertensive therapy However there are only scarce data about antihypertensive treatment adjustment using 24 hour blood pressure instead of office blood pressure

Aim To test the hypothesis that a 24 hour blood pressure guided therapy is is more effective in reaching blood pressure control when compared to conventional office blood pressure guided therapy
