Increase Fimasartan if blood pressure is not controlled.

  2. SV1+RV5 or RV6 > 35mm.

• Patients who are taking or expecting Fimasartan

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with unstable angina or myocardial infarction within 3 months
• Patients with clinically significant severe valve disease, congenital heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease
