Filter by:Aim of the study is to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on blood pressure profiles and variability as assessed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) through the comparison of ABPM data obtained before and during the COVID-19 lockdown in already treated hypertensive patients
Home blood pressure measurement has been reported to be associated with better clinic blood pressure and daytime blood pressure control. However, no study has evaluated the association between home blood pressure measurement and control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in real world practice. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the control of ambulatory blood pressure in the real world. The detailed purposes of the present study are (1) to investigate the effects of home blood pressure measurement on the appropriate control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients treated with antihypertensive drug, (2) to evaluate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the occurrence of cardiovascular events and target organ damage, (3) to investigate the status and appropriateness of home blood pressure measurement in the real world, and (4) to investigate factors of home blood pressure measurement methods affecting the treatment of hypertension.
Home blood pressure measurement has been recommended to use in the diagnosis of hypertension. The investigators have developed diagnostic algorithm of hypertension by using 24-hour and home blood pressure measurement. However, the diagnostic agreement between home blood pressure measurement and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement is about 70 - 85%. The discrepancy of diagnosis between home blood pressure measurement and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure is one of the barriers to introduce home blood pressure measurement in the diagnosis of hypertension. To solve the discrepancy, identifying the characteristic patients showing discrepancy of hypertension diagnosis between home blood pressure measurement and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement is needed. The purpose of the present study are (1) to validate the diagnostic algorithm of hypertension by using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and home blood pressure measurement the investigators have developed, and (2) to identifying the characteristics of patients showing discrepancy of diagnosis between 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and home blood pressure measurement, and (3) lastly to improve the diagnostic algorithm of hypertension by using home blood pressure measurement.
The DEPART study end points are to provide conclusive evidence, using a randomized, double blinded, sham procedure controlled study design, that radiofrequency renal denervation: 1. reduces daytime ambulatory blood pressure, 2. improves nocturnal dipping in blood pressure at the ambulatory blood pressure recording.
This study will investigate the influence of MK0859 on ambulatory blood pressure, and how safe and tolerable MK0859 is on the subjects This is an early phase trial and some specific protocol information is in progress and not publicly available at this time. (Full information is available to trial participants).
