Hypertension is still one of the major preventable risk factor for cardiovascular as well as cerebrovascular diseases globally, including ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, and renal impairment. Despite knowledge on hypertension and the availability of effective antihypertensive medications have progressed dramatically in recent years, the rate of uncontrolled hypertension ( reached 90%) remains high in China[1]. Among those with uncontrolled hypertension，it has been reported that 8.9% in all individuals with hypertension, and 12.8% in the hypertensive drug-treated population[2] are attributed to resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension has been defined by AHA as high blood pressure (BP) in spite of appropriate lifestyle interventions and treatment of three or more different types of antihypertensive drugs at optimal dose, including at least one diuretics[3,4] or achieving adequate BP control with optimal doses of 4 or more antihypertensive drugs.
