Özet

Objective: Due to hypertension, the organs may get damaged over time, and with the damage of end-organ, the prognosis of the disease may get negatively affected. The intent of this study is to identify the contribution of hypervolemia to uncontrolled hypertension and how it affects endothelial function and echocardiographic findings in patients who have primary hypertension and who are not suffering from kidney failure.
