View clinical trials related to Resistant Hypertension.
Filter by:Resistant arterial hypertension (RAH) is a complex and multifactorial syndrome, with hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and reduction of vagal activity being considered some of the main causes of refractoriness to treatment. Seen from the outside, it resembles a complicated (see lat. "Cum plicate") or complex disease (see lat. "Cum plexus"), Chaotic with the participation of several open systems. For example, in recent years some relationships have been demonstrated between the autonomic nervous systems, synaptic mediators, hormones, inflammatory and immune responses. However, these findings have not been investigated together and systematically. In the present project, we intend to establish and compare, in an integrated way, the clinical alterations present in RAH (resistant and refractory), hemodynamic variables, autonomous activity (sympathetic and baroreflex) and interactions with the neuroimmune-endocrine systems. To this end, we will test the hypothesis that resistant patients have greater damage to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) associated with exacerbated systemic and hormonal inflammatory profile, including SNA mediators (noradrenaline and acetylcholinesterase). This is also intended to determine the behavior (deterministic or chaotic) of the systems evaluated (mentioned above) in volunteers with RAH. Sample and methods: The sample space (calculated) will consist of 72 individuals, being: - 18 refractory hypertensive (HRT); II- 18 resistant hypertensive patients (HRfT); III- 18 controlled hypertensive (1-2 drugs) (CAH); and IV- 18 healthy normotensive individuals. This is a prospective, double-blind study (patient and professional-technician), paired (1 X 4), in which the 72 volunteers will be evaluated by the methods set out below. We will also have the chance to observe whether resistant and refractory hypertension share the same pathophysiological bases and clinical manifestations ("deterministic-isolated or cardiovascular chaos") by analyzing the patterns of cardiovascular variability (MAPA and Holter) (SpaceLabs, USA; DynaMap, Brazil), inflammatory and hormonal mediators (ELISA) in the resistant hypertension - RHT and refratary hypertension - HfRT groups. Central pressure (CP) and arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, VOP) (Sphymocor, ATCor, USA) will also be assessed. Healthy normotensive (NT) and controlled hypertension (CAH) will be evaluated in an identical way to control the other groups. Perspectives: The findings will improve the clinical knowledge based on pathophysiology about Resistant Hypertension and, mainly, the bases of pharmacological treatment and with implantable devices (stimulation of baroreceptors and sympathetic denervation) used in this condition.
The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat in Asian participants with uHTN or rHTN. The main objective is to compare the difference in SBP change from baseline at Week 12 of treatment between participants receiving 2 mg baxdrostat or 1 mg baxdrostat tablets and participants receiving placebo tablets.
Hypertension is a common problem, affecting >1.1 billion people worldwide. Unfortunately, fewer than one in five treated patients with hypertension have their blood pressure (BP) under control. The increasing number of people with uncontrolled BP despite the use of three or more antihypertensive agents at optimal or maximally tolerated doses, with one of those agents preferably being a diuretic has been described as the resistant hypertension (RH). Achieving BP control is essential because patients with hypertension who have uncontrolled BP have significantly higher rates of all-cause, cardiovascular, heart disease and cerebrovascular disease mortality compared to normotensive individuals, whereas mortality risk in patients with well-controlled BP does not differ from that in normotensive individuals. There are a number of potential factors that contribute to the suboptimal control of hypertension, including medication non-adherence and prescribing inertia. This highlights the limitations of purely pharmacological approaches for the effective management of hypertension. In fact, the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and sympatho-adrenomedullary system play a pathogenic role in triggering and sustaining RH. Superselective adrenal arterial embolization (SAAE) is a catheter-based percutaneous transluminal procedure which selectively injects ethanol into adrenal artery to ablate part of the adrenal gland for suppression of excessive aldosterone and catecholamines. Over the last decade, unilateral SAAE has emerged as a potential treatment option for patients with primary aldosteronism. Whether this approach can be extrapolated to patients with RH is unclear. We thus set out to perform a randomized trial to compare the safety and efficacy of bilateral SAAE with antihypertensive medications in treating RH.
To explore the relationship between perioperative blood pressure and catecholamine concentrations in adrenal venous blood and peripheral venous blood in hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) who underwent percutaneous selective adrenal artery embolization (SAAE). In order to elucidate the related phenomena and possible mechanisms of blood pressure fluctuations caused by SAAE treatment in hypertensive patients with PA.
HQ-HTN-K01-02 is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, open label, first-in-human study to evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of HyperQureTM, laparoscopic denervation therapy, in patients with resistant hypertension on 3 or more antihypertensive medications
This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-part, single and multiple ascending dose study in healthy adult to test the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and food effect of JX09 when administered to healthy adult subjects.
Arterial hypertension (AH) has been identified as an important public health problem and considered a new epidemic with high mortality and morbidity. High blood pressure (BP) levels increase the chances of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), stroke, chronic renal failure (CRF) and death. Beetroot powder may be an easier way to increase the availability of nitric oxide and consequently vasodilation in these patients. However, studies are needed to evaluate its benefits in patients with AH.
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and the effect of 2 mg Baxdrostat vs. placebo, administered QD orally, on the reduction of SBP, measured by average 24-hour ABPM in 212 participants with rHTN (defined as seated SBP ≥ 140 mmHg at Screening and mean ambulatory SBP ≥ 130 mmHg at baseline, despite a stable regimen of ≥ 3 antihypertensive agents, one of which is a diuretic).
This is a Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effect of 1 or 2 mg baxdrostat versus placebo, administered once daily (QD) orally, on the reduction of systolic blood pressure in approximately 720 participants aged ≥ 18 years with hypertension, despite a stable regimen of 2 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (uncontrolled hypertension); or ≥ 3 antihypertensive agents at baseline, one of which is a diuretic (treatment-resistant hypertension).
Long-standing hypertension may cause an impairment in microvascular coronary circulation which is involved in many different cardiac conditions. Renal denervation (RDN) has been successfully proven as a valuable and powerful therapeutic choice to consider for patients with resistant hypertension; moreover this procedure looks promising in other cardiac disease such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation, given its ability to downregulate sympathetic nervous system The aim of this study is to explore the effect of renal denervation and blood pressure control on coronary microvascular dysfunction. This is a multicenter, prospective, non randomized, open-label, interventional study. Consecutive patients with resistant hypertension, non obstructive coronary artery disease and documented microvascular dysfunction will be enrolled. Patients will undergo renal denervation by Spyral Symplicity 3 and re-assessment of coronary microvascular function 12 months after the procedure. Primary endpoint will be the difference in average index of microcirculatory resistance value.
