Description According to current registry data, 37% of hypertensive patients reach target blood pressure level. The failure to achieve target blood pressure level cause cardiovascular complications and mortality.

The aim of our study was to find out the difference in left ventricular (LV) mass values in nonadherent and adherent hypertensive patients.
