Why the study?
Cardiac dysfunction is a primary issue in hypertension, and while UACR is linked to adverse cardiovascular events, its relationship with cardiac functions in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients needed examination.

Reduction in UACR may mark LVGLS gains on ACEI in new hypertension; leaves open causality and need for outcome trials.
Is the reduction in microalbuminuria associated with improvement in left ventricular systolic function in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients treated with ACEIs?
In newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, reduction in microalbuminuria with ACEI treatment is significantly associated with improvement in left ventricular systolic function as measured by LVGLS.
