Summary

MAIN: The benefits of treating high blood pressure successfully to normal levels on heart function are the same regardless of which particular combination of drugs are used. SECONDARY: Measurement of heart function using a comprehensive ultrasound imaging method (Echocardiography) and an objective test of functional ability are better predictors of changes in heart function with successful hypertension treatment, than subjective signs of heart failure.
