Effects and Safety of Sacubitril/Valsartan on Refractory Hypertension

Summary

Resistant hypertension (RH) accounted for a considerable proportion of patients with hypertension. It has been revealed to impose certain adverse effects on the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases. The antihypertensive effect of sacubitril/valsartan being fully confirmed in previous studies, there were no related randomized controlled trials (RCT) about this potency among Chinese patients with RH. The investigators designed this study to evaluated effects and safety of sacubitril/valsartan versus valsartan on Chinese patients with RH.
