The purpose of this survey is designed to investigate the treatment status of hypertensive patient with metabolic syndrome-related risk factors treated with candesartan cilexetil tablets (Blopress Tablets), as well as to assess relationships between risk factors (example, visceral fat accumulation) and the incidence of cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events in an exploratory manner.
This survey was designed to investigate the treatment status of hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome-related risk factors treated with candesartan cilexetil tablets (Blopress Tablets), as well as to assess relationships between risk factors (example, visceral fat accumulation) and the incidence of cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events in an exploratory manner. For adults, 4-8 mg of candesartan cilexetil is typically administered orally once daily. The dose is increased up to 12 mg, as necessary. For patients with complications of renal damage, however, administration of candesartan cilexetil should be started at 2 mg once daily, and, as necessary, the dose increased up to 8 mg.

Number of Participants Reporting One or More Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR)
ADR are defined as adverse events (AEs) which are in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. AEs are defined as any unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product reported from the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3 years
Number of Participants Reporting One or More Serious Adverse Drug Reactions (SADR)
SADR are defined as serious adverse events (SAEs) which are in the investigator's opinion of causal relationship to the study treatment. SADR was an ADR resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
Time frame: Baseline up to 3 years
Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events
Cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events reported to be associated with Blopress were reported. The composite events classified under primary major adverse cardiac Events (MACE) 1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).
Time frame: Baseline up to 3 years
Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events Affected by Underlying Risk Factors of Obesity, Blood Glucose Abnormalities, or Lipid Abnormalities
Participants reporting cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events who had either obesity, blood glucose abnormalities, or lipid abnormalities as any one of the underlying risk factors associated with Blopress at the time of enrollment were reported.The composite events classified under primary MACE1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).

Incidence of Cerebrovascular/Cardiovascular Events Affected by Underlying Risk Factors of Obesity + Blood Glucose Abnormalities, Obesity + Lipid Abnormalities, or Blood Glucose Abnormalities + Lipid Abnormalities
Participants reporting cerebrovascular/cardiovascular events who had multiple underlying risk factors which included either obesity + blood glucose abnormalities, obesity + lipid abnormalities OR blood glucose + lipid abnormalities associated with Blopress at the time of enrollment were reported. The composite events classified under primary MACE1 and primary MACE2 were defined as: MACE1: sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and acute myocardial infarction; MACE2: MACE1 + hospitalization for cardiac failure and intervention/hospitalization for angina pectoris. Renal events include (transition to dialysis + renal transplant).
