This is a prospective study to evaluate the change in 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure during winter and summer in well controlled treated hypertensives.
Two 24hour ambulatory blood pressure monitorings, 4 to 6 months apart, will be performed on hypertensive subjects on a stable antihypertensive drug therapy for at least 4 weeks. The correlation of weather and temperature with the 24hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring will be explored.
