About this trial
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan on cardiac function assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in hypertensive patients stratified by BMI.

Patients administered angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ACEI/ARB) by prescription that have started before inclusion of the patient enrolled into the study and defined as ACEI/ARB group. Including: benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, moexipril, perindopril, quinapril, ramipril, trandolapril, azilsartan, candesartan, eprosartan, irbesartan, losartan, olmesartan, telmisartan, valsartan.
