Popis: In an open multicenter study, 2.012 patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension were treated for 8 weeks with the β 1 -selective blocker bisoprolol. A total of 570 general practitioners participated in this study. A total of 1.597 patients whose resting diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ranged from 95 to 115 mm Hg were considered eligible for this study. Patients received one tablet of bisoprolol (5 mg) o.d. for the first 4 weeks. In patients not responding satisfactorily to treatment, the dose could be increased to 10 mg o.d. for the following 4 weeks. A total of 1.201 patients were evaluated for efficacy and all 2.012 patients were evaluated for tolerability
