Filter by:- Describe blood pressure changes on patients with OSA treated with lateral pharyngoplasty - Compare the mean of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 24 hours, average systolic and diastolic pressure during daytime and night and changes in the nocturnal decrease.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of 24 weeks of either a blood pressure education and walking program versus a yoga exercise program versus the combined intervention of blood pressure education and yoga on reducing mild to moderate high blood pressure in pre-hypertension and stage 1 hypertension subjects.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relative bioavailability of Nadolol (1 x 80 mg) tablets under fasting conditions.
This study will investigate whether retaining potassium in the body will lead to changes in blood pressure and changes in blood and urine samples.
This study is an open randomized controlled trial of 12-month duration, which compares the use of a home blood pressure (BP) tele-management system to the usual approach of home BP monitoring in older diabetic patients with uncontrolled systolic hypertension. The purpose of this study is to determine whether home blood pressure tele-management system will markedly improve blood pressure control in a primary care setting.
This project will evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of a novel, multidisciplinary approach to identify and treat pre-clinical cardiac dysfunction (PCCD) in asymptomatic hypertensive patients identified in a single center urban emergency department. Premature onset of pressure-related cardiac complications of hypertension (especially heart failure) has important implications for long-term survival, quality of life and healthcare costs. This project will target patients who have already developed pressure-related cardiac structural abnormalities yet remain symptom free. These individuals are at tremendous risk for progression to clinically overt heart failure and its associated consequences. We hypothesize that detection and treatment of patients with hypertension who have pre-clinical structural cardiac damage will enable forestallment of the disease process and offer the opportunity to reduce the burden of cardiac morbidity associated with hypertension. This project will implement a program to prospectively identify PCCD (using echocardiography) and provide treatment. At present, the optimal blood pressure goal for patients with PCCD is unknown so this study will randomize patients to 2 levels of blood pressure control: "normal", which is consistent with current national guidelines and "intensive", which will aim for a markedly lower blood pressure (< 120/80). Enrolled patients will receive active treatment and follow-up for 1 year. At the end of 1 year, we will evaluate: 1) the ability of this program to achieve blood pressure goals; 2) the cost effectiveness; and 3) the proportion in each blood pressure group who have evidence of disease regression on echocardiography.
The purpose of this study is to determine if consumption of whey protein, compared with soy protein or a carbohydrate food decreases blood pressure along with reducing risk factors for heart disease.
This is a multi-site prospective epidemiological investigation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Abuja residents from the rural and metropolitan area.
Objective : to test the BP lowering-effect of oral magnesium supplementation, as magnesium chloride (MgCl2) solution, 2.5 g daily, in uncomplicated hypertensive type 2 diabetic subjects with decreased serum magnesium levels Design : Randomised double blind placebo controlled trial. Setting : Outpatients with type 2 diabetes from Durango, city in northern Mexico Subjects : 82 subjects between 40 and 75 years of age with type 2 diabetes serum magnesium deficiency and uncomplicated hypertension. Interventions : During 4 months the intervention group received 2.5 gr of magnesium chloride (50 ml of a solution containing 50 gr of MgCl2 by 1000 ml of solution ). Controls received inert placebo. Main outcome measure: Change in blood pressure. Increase of serum magnesium Secondary outcomes measures: Changes in lipid profile
Individuals with prehypertension are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease and sustained hypertension. Modifying lifestyle behaviors (diet, weight loss, sodium intake, physical activity, alcohol intake) has been shown to reduce blood pressure in hypertensives. Participants in this study will be enrolled in one of two groups. Participants in the first group will receive usual care, and participants in the second group will receive a 4 session telephone-based lifestyle intervention. The goal of the study is to determine whether this intervention is effective in promoting behavior change and reducing blood pressure among prehypertensives.
