Filter by:The SOMNOtouch NIBP is a cuffless device for continuous blood pressure measurement. The device is widely used, but validation for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) is limited. This study seeks to validate the SOMNOtouch device for use in 24-hour ABMP as compared to a validated oscillometric device for 24-hour ABPM. A total of 60 patients with indication for 24-hour BP measurement will be recruited from our tertiary hypertension Clinic. All included patients will conduct dual 24-hour ABPM with both the SOMNOtouch NIBP and a the oscillometric device. Furthermore, patients will undergo measurement of arterial stiffness with a Sphygmocor device as well as complete a questionaire on device related discomfort.
This study is to compare the effectiveness of three different antihypertensive treatment strategies for reaching a target blood pressure (clinic BP) of </= 130/80 mmHg among patients <65years of age and </= 140/90 mmHg among patients >/=65years of Age in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients with uncomplicated arterial hypertension in rural Tanzania and Lesotho.
Study objective - to assess the efficacy, tolerability and adherence of bisoprolol/perindopril FDC in patients with HT and stable CAD in everyday practice. Type of the program: multicenter, observational, uncontrolled, open program. The program will involve 480 general practitioners (GPs) and cardiologists from the primary care facilities.Each doctor includes four patients. It is planned to include not less than 1920 patients in total.
The use of TRIple fixed-dose COmbination in the treatment of arteriaL hypertension: opportunity for effective BP control with cOmbined antihypertensive therapy. The main aim of this study to assess the antihypertensive effectiveness effect on the 24-hour BP profile, as well as tolerability of and compliance to the treatment with a triple FDC of amlodipine / indapamide / perindopril arginine in hypertensive patients in the real clinical practice. Type of program: Multicenter, observational, non-controlled, open-label program. Investigators: Cardiologists and outpatient (primary care) physicians (general practitioners). Number of patients: 1,300 hypertensive patients.
24 h blood pressure monitoring can help to define which is the optimal timing and frequency of measurements
Blood pressure reduction and control are associated with reduced risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. There is evidence that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) results more accurately reflect the risk of cardiovascular events than do office measurements of blood pressure. New international guidelines recognize the importance of ABPM which has an important and growing role in the diagnosis and in guiding antihypertensive therapy. In 2011 in the United Kingdom, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended that ABPM be performed on all patients with suspected hypertension to confirm the diagnosis and reduce unnecessary treatment in people who do not have true hypertension. The aim of this observational study is to describe the utility of ABPM generally and specifically in the management of hypertension by Cardiologists in the Algerian context.
This is a clinical trial to determine whether 30 sessions of heat therapy in the form of hot water immersion is better than 30 sessions of traditional aerobic exercise training on blood pressure reduction in people with elevated or Stage 1 hypertension.
Written surveys of patients with high blood pressure are designed to determine how they would likely decide if, in addition to taking medication, they had another option to treat their hypertension. The alternative treatment option is renal sympathetic denervation using catheter ablation. This new treatment method is not yet used in the standard care. Currently, studies are being conducted in specific centers to demonstrate the efficacy of this treatment. Questionnaires are used to determine the preference of patients for one or the other option of hypertension treatment. So far, there are no findings.
One-center, observational, non-interventional, prospective study of the efficacy of azilsartan medoxomil in patients with arterial hypertension associated with stable ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The investigators propose to assess the needs, barriers, and knowledge gaps of hypertension control programs in the national health care systems of the Central America 4 region LMIC (CA-4: Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua); to conduct a cluster randomized trial to test the effect of a multilevel and multicomponent intervention program leveraging an existing subnational primary healthcare system in Guatemala, on blood pressure (BP) control among hypertensive patients; and to evaluate the adaptability, feasibility, fidelity, and sustainability of implementing the program in the primary health care systems of the CA-4 region. The comprehensive intervention, which includes protocol-based treatment using a standard BP management algorithm, team-based collaborative care, BP audit and feedback, home BP monitoring, and health coaching on antihypertensive medication adherence and lifestyle modification, will last for 18 months. This implementation research study presents high public health impact because it will generate urgently needed data on effective, practical, and sustainable intervention strategies aimed at reducing BP related disease burden in Central America and other low- and middle-income countries.
