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 …
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.
Phenotypisation of Sleep Pattern in Hypertensive Patients With Non Dipper Pattern
High blood pressure is the most common modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CV). The large interindividual variability in clinical expression of the disease and response to treatment, however, makes the management of the hypertensive patient complex.Therefore, identifying phenotypes of hypertensive patients associated with a specific CV outcome or who …
Assessment of Risks of Perinephric Fat Thickness to Adverse Renal Outcomes Post Donor Nephrectomy
The goal of this observational study is to learn if PRAT thickness is a marker of visceral obesity and its influence on donors' kidney function and blood pressure in living kidney donors. Population includes male/female, 18 years and up, living kidney donors scheduled for nephrectomy within 6 months, with a …
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 …
Tissue Sodium Quantification in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism: See Sodium to Treat
The study aims to provide quantitative facts on the pathophysiological changes in tissue Na+ content during Na+/K+ redistribution disorders in patients with PA in response to standard therapy. The investigators hypothesize that patients with primary aldosteronism have excessive Na+ storage in the muscle, which can now be quantified non-invasively using …
Right Ventricle Lipid in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
The investigators propose to study the relationship between right ventricle (RV) steatosis and RV function, exercise capacity, and outcomes in humans with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and to identify potential drivers of lipid accumulation.
Natural History Study of Biomarkers in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Background High blood pressure in the lungs, known as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), is a rare disorder. Some people have disease-associated PAH and some have PAH from an unknown cause. Researchers want to follow the natural history of all PAH patients to understand how PAH progresses in order to discover …
Autonomic Regulation of Blood Pressure in Premature and Early Menopausal Women
This is a cross-sectional study in which the investigators will determine the impact of premature/early menopause on MSNA, BP and baroreflex sensitivity in younger (≤49 yr old) and older (≥50 yr old) women. Specifically, aim one will determine mechanisms driving autonomic dysregulation of BP in premature and early menopausal women …
Water and Electrolytes Content in HYpertension (WHYSKI) in the SKIn
WHYSKI is a prospective within-patient observational clinical study designed to test the hypothesis that alterations of Na+, K+, water, and the lympho-angiogenetic transcription factor Tonicity Enhancing Binding Protein (TonEBP) mRNA take place in the interstitium of the skin compartment of patients with arterial hypertension due to primary aldosteronism in whom …
