Conical Forearm and Cylindrical Upper Arm Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Measurements in Pregnant Patients
The diagnosis of hypertensive disease during pregnancy is predicated on strict blood pressure thresholds: 140/90 on at least two occasions measured four hours apart for both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. An improvement in diagnostic accuracy of even 5mm Hg would be significant, as reflected by the US Association for the …
Optic Nerve Sheath Ultrasound in Giant Cell Arteritis
The Sonographic Assessment of the Optic Nerve Sheath in Giant Cell Arteritis (SONIC-GCA) study will evaluate the performance of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), measured via ultrasound, to diagnose and monitor GCA. SONIC-GCA builds upon our previous pilot studies and will answer the following questions: What is the performance …
Steroids-Based Screening for Primary Aldosteronism
This prospective, single-center observational study aims to evaluate whether a steroid-based screening method can more accurately identify Primary Aldosteronism (PA) in hypertensive patients who remain on their usual antihypertensive medications, compared with the conventional aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR). PA is a common, potentially curable subtype of secondary hypertension that carries increased …
Ketone Ester And Salt (KEAS) in Older Adults
Most Americans consume excess dietary salt based on the recommendations set by the American Heart Association and Dietary Guidelines for Americans. High dietary salt impairs blood pressure control by affecting systemic blood vessels and the kidneys. These changes contribute to excess salt consumption being associated with increased risk for chronic …
Efficacy of Spironolactone Combined With Antihypertensive Drugs in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the optimal dose of spironolactone treatment and the long-term outcomes on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with lateralized PA who are unwilling to undergo surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the long-term effect of …
Polygenic Risk Score Implementation and Stratification for Managing Blood Pressure
In a multi-ethnic population, a genome-wide polygenic risk score (PRS) for systolic blood pressure (SBP), incorporating over one million common genetic variants, predicts blood pressure (BP) traits and the risk of adverse cardiovascular events beyond traditional risk factors. Delivering SBP PRS information to young and middle-aged adults with hypertension (HTN) …
The Effects of Dietary Nitrate in Patients With Hypertensive Kidney Injury
The study aims to study the effects of diatery nitrate in patients with hypertension and hypertensive kidney injury. The study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded crossover trial. 14-20 patients with hypertension and CKD I-III will be randomized to receive either nitrate or placebo delivered in the form of beetroot juice. …
Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Cardiac Function in Patients With Hypertension
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiac function assessed by echocardiography in patients with hypertension.
Effect of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Yufeng Ningxin in Patients With Hypertension
Yufeng Ningxin, a traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated potential antihypertensive effects in animal studies and small clinical trials, but has not yet been rigorously evaluated in large randomized clinical trials. Here, the investigators conducted a double-blind, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Yufeng Ningxin tablets in …
Homocysteine and Early Diastolic Dysfunction in Newly Diagnosed Hypertension
This prospective single-center observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between elevated plasma homocysteine levels and early echocardiographic abnormalities in patients with newly diagnosed essential hypertension. Adult patients diagnosed with essential hypertension within the previous 6 months will undergo clinical assessment, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, electrocardiography, laboratory testing, and comprehensive …
