The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether putting your legs in a hot bath after exercise improves blood pressure in people with higher blood pressure. . The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether exercise alone, hot water leg bath alone, or both treatments together cause blood pressure to be lower during sleep. - If there are any changes in heart rhythm or blood vessel health after exercise, hot water leg bath, or the two treatments together that relate to changes in blood pressure. Participants will complete four different trials: - 30 minutes of walking with a 45-minute lukewarm leg bath after - 30 minutes of walking with a 45-minute hot leg bath after - 45 minutes of a hot leg bath with no exercise - A day with no exercise or leg bath Researchers will look at their heart rhythm, blood vessels, and blood pressure after each of these trials to see if there are differences, and if exercise and heat together can improve heart health more than exercise or heat alone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week walking program on blood pressure in inactive older adults with respiratory impairment, a condition where lung function is sub-optimal for a person's age. Older adults with respiratory impairment have greater risks of death by cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those without respiratory impairment, and this may be partly driven by higher resting blood pressure. One way to lower blood pressure is to increase the number of daily steps achieved throughout the course of everyday life ('lifestyle steps'), and previous research shows that an additional 3,000 lifestyle steps/day is effective for achieving this. However, whether an increase in daily lifestyle steps is effective for reducing blood pressure in senior-community dwelling older adults with respiratory impairment is unknown. Understanding how increasing daily steps impacts blood pressure in this understudied population is important for informing future strategies for tackling cardiovascular disease risk in those with lung dysfunction.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of treatment and non-treatment of elevated blood pressures in early pregnancy.
Conversion of dietary nitrates to nitric oxide (NO) is a non-canonical pathway that plays an important role in NO biology, particulalry under pathological conditions. Nitrate supplementation has been shown to help control mild hypertension. Recent studies have suggested that another gaseous transmitter, hydrogen sulfide, also influences NO biosynthesis and metabolism. This open-label clinical trial will evalute the effect of Vascanox® HP, a proprietary formulation that combines dietary sources of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, on nitric oxide bioavailability and on blood pressure in subjects experiencing elevated blood pressure. Participants will supplement with Vascanox® HP for four weeks. Blood pressure will be measured at baseline, two weeks, and fours weeks. Salivary nitric oxide will be assessed prior to and two, six, and 24 hours after dosing on the first day of the study and prior to and two hours after dosing at subsequent study visits. Participants will also self-monitor their saliva nitric oxide levels and blood pressure daily for 4 weeks. Changes in study outcomes over time will be evaluated via analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t-tests.
Elevated blood pressure or prehypertension is highly associated with increased risk of developing hypertension, cardiovascular event, and type II diabetes. Many physically inactive young adults, particularly in Malaysia have blood pressure higher than normal range, therefore it is important to control the blood pressure within normal range as prophylactic measure. This experimental research will be carried out to study the effect of physical training (aerobic exercise) and mental training (mindfulness meditation) with diet as a control group on the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and resting heart rate among young adult with elevated blood pressure living a sedentary lifestyle. Participant will be divided into 2 experimental groups (mental and physical training) and 1 control group (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension -DASH diet plan) who need to complete the prescribed intervention for 6 weeks. Results will be analysed by repeated measures ANOVA followed by post-hic test.
This clinical study aims to assess the efficacy of TOTUM-854, a mix of 6 plant extracts, consumed twice a day on automated office blood pressure in subjects with moderately elevated blood pressure. The hypothesis is that TOTUM-854 is superior to placebo for decrease of automated office blood pressure after 12 weeks of consumption.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Baduanjin on blood pressure in individuals with high normal blood pressure (SBP 130-139 mmHg, and/or DBP 85-89 mmHg), as well as on glucose and lipid metabolism, quality of life, psychology, exercise, immune inflammation, endothelial function, and arterial stiffness.
The main objective of the study will be to compare the efficacy of a 2.65 g/day dose of TOTUM-854 versus placebo in decreasing SBP in subjects with high-normal blood pressure and Grade I hypertension following 12 weeks of daily intake.
This will be a prospective observational study. The population would be pediatric patients 6 years to <19 years of age who were referred for elevated blood pressure to investigate if home blood pressure (HBP) can determine blood pressure phenotype (normotensive, hypertensive, masked hypertension, white coat hypertension) as accurately as ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) in childhood and adolescence.
