Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female, aged 18 to 65 years inclusive
2. Hypertension duration longer than 3 months
3. Hypertensive subjects who have been stopped taking antihypertensive drugs continuously and stably for at least 4 weeks or who do not take antihypertensive drugs , with office systolic/diastolic blood pressure still ≥140/90 mmHg and \<160/100 mmHg, and 24-hour ambulatory mean systolic /diastolic pressure ≥130/80 mmHg and \<140/90 mmHg;

13. Severe valvular heart disease or anticipated need for surgical valve replacement during the study period. NYHA Class III/IV heart failure at screening or hospitalization for exacerbation of chronic heart failure within the past six months.
14. History of ventricular fibrillation, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia within six months, or prior implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker.
15. Concomitant severe diseases that may interfere with study participation or affect survival, such as malignancy or AIDS.
