- Resistant hypertension defined by mean day-time SBP > 135 mmHg and DBP > 85 mmHg
(determined with ABPM device) after a standardized 4-week regimen including
irbesartan, amlodipine and HCTZ.

Exclusion Criteria:

Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: 75 Years
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Hypertension
Intervention(s)
Drug: irbesartan, amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide
Primary Outcome(s)
Mean day-time systolic blood pressure (SBP) at week 12, measured with an average blood pressure measurement (ABPM) device [Time Frame: at week 12]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Echocardiography (week 0 and 12) [Time Frame: week 0 and 12]
Other explorations: [Time Frame: during]
blood and urinary electrolytes with creatinemia at week 0, 4, 8, 10 and 12 [Time Frame: at week 0, 4, 8, 10 and 12]
brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), active renin, aldosterone at week 0 and 12 [Time Frame: at week 0 and 12]
During the study BP will be evaluated every 4 weeks by home blood pressure measurement [HBPM] in order to detect hypotension) [Time Frame: every 4 weeks]

Biological examinations: [Time Frame: during the study]
Safety and tolerability: [Time Frame: during the study]
Pharmacokinetics of drugs (week 0 and 12) [Time Frame: week 0 and 12]
Endothelial function (week 0 and 12) [Time Frame: week 0 and 12]
Treatment compliance (study drug accounting, N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline [Ac SDKP] for angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor [ACEi]) [Time Frame: during the study]
