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 …
Overnight Dexamethasone in Primary Aldosteronism Screening
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether screening for primary aldosteronism can be improved among patients on chronic blood pressure-lowering medications by ordering intake of 1 mg of dexamethasone prior to hormonal examinations. Primary aldosteronism is a condition, in which an adrenal gland steroid aldosterone is released …
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. …
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 …
Effects of Adrenal Artery Ablation and Spironolactone in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one of the most common cause of endocrine and resistant hypertension. Current studies have shown that the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the increased sympathetic nerve activity in the central or local tissue are the key mechanisms of high blood pressure and its organ …
Addressing Medication Non-adherence in Patients With Poorly Controlled Hypertension Using Urine Mass Spectrometry
Hypertension is the single largest contributor to cardiovascular disease and death. While adequate control of hypertension reduces risk of disease, many patients have uncontrolled hypertension. This is often due to medication non-adherence. Left undetected, patients are prescribed additional medications, and referred to multiple specialists for investigations - leading to increased …
Study of Disrupted Sleep in Somali Americans
The aims of this study are to determine the types and severity of previously undiagnosed sleep deficiencies in otherwise healthy Somali Americans, apply a research framework to define psychosocial, behavioral, environmental, and biological mechanisms mediating sleep deficiencies in Somali Americans, and examine the relationship between sleep deficiencies and increased blood …
Impact of Intensive Treatment of SBP on Brain Perfusion, Amyloid, and Tau (IPAT Study)
The purpose of this study is to determine if intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP), using FDA approved medications (antihypertensive), reduces Alzheimer's Disease pathology (i.e., excessive brain amyloid and tau protein deposition) in older adults at high risk for memory decline or dementia.
The Path to Optimal Black Maternal Heart Health: Comparing Two CVD Risk Reduction Interventions (Change of HEART)
The overarching goal of our proposal is to reduce disparities in perinatal cardiovascular disease risk factors among Black women utilizing a community-driven, social ecological framework.
bpMedManage: Digital Technology to Support Adherence to Hypertension Medications
The purpose of the bpMedManage study is to rigorously test the efficacy of a smartphone technology to help improve high blood pressure medication adherence among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a 16-week randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 older adults will be recruited. There will be …
