Background And Objectives: Albuminuria is a marker of higher cardiovascular and renal risk in hypertension; it also indicates the need of a tighter control of blood pressure with drugs blocking the renin-angiotensin system. The objective of the KORAL-CARDIO study was to assess the clinical picture and management of patients with hypertension and cardiac disease and albuminuria not previously treated with angiotensin inhibitors.
Methods: A total of 2711 hypertensive patients (44% female) with ischemic or hypertensive cardiopathy or atrial fibrillation and with a positive screening test for albuminuria was included.
