Active clinical trials for "Essential Hypertension"

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of LFF269 compared to placebo after treatment in subjects with essential hypertension.

Effect of olmesartan medoxomil (20-40 mg) on plaque regression in hypertensive patients with carotid atherosclerosis.

Evaluate blood pressure after 6 weeks of treatment with COZAAR plus.

Primary hypertension, also called essential hypertension, is a rise in blood pressure (BP) with no identifiable cause. The most prevalent form of hypertension is essential hypertension, which involves 95% of patients with hypertension.Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is learning to relax some groups of muscles while paying attention to the feelings connected with both the tense and relaxed states.It is generally established that regular slow (deep) breathing exercises enhance respiratory and cardiovascular function by enhancing parasympathetic tone and reducing sympathetic activity, thus reducing BP, heart rate, respiratory rate, and stress levels in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of slow breathing and PMR technique on BP, heart rate, respiratory rate, and anxiety in patients diagnosed with essential hypertension.

The reducing the anti-aggregation properties of platelets significantly decreases the risk of myocardial infarction and the total number of cardiovascular events. In patients who have cardiovascular disease, anti-platelet therapy reduces the risk of serious vascular events. Side effects, such as bleeding, are relatively small so the benefits of anti-platelet therapy in secondary prevention exceed the risk of these side effects. According to guidelines for the treatment of arterial hypertension, PTNT 2015, patients with arterial hypertension (HA) that have a 20% or higher risk for cardiovascular events in the next 10 years, should have ASA included in their treatment to reduce this risk. It has been proved that the use of acetylsalicylic acid in secondary prevention reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events, while the benefits of ASA in primary prevention have recently been debated. The benefits of using ASA in primary prevention should always be confronted with the risk of hemorrhagic complications of this therapy According to 2016 European Guidelines on cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention in clinical practice, anti-platelet therapy is not recommended in individuals who do not suffer from CVD, due to the increased risk of major bleeding. It is important to look for alternative anti-platelet therapy for people with cardiovascular risk factors. Standardized tomato extract (STE) does not cause side effects and may have multiple beneficial effects on total cardiovascular risk, primarily by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Since its discovery in 1999, several studies and human trials with STE have been carried out. During the last 50 years, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) has become a highly consumed food. The benefits of inhibiting platelet activity through diet are currently difficult to determine due to the lack of clear and comprehensive scientific data. It is difficult to specify the over activity of the plaques or their proper activity. However, there are data available that indicate the benefits of a diet containing diminishing activity of platelets (Mediterranean diet) and lowering cardiovascular risk.The investigators want to conduct a comparison of the less common STE with clinically recognized ASA. The aim of the study was to compare the anti-platelet effect of STE and ASA in hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk.The study highlights that STE may be an alternative, food-based strategy to control the platelets reactivity.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of RMJH-111b, including how well it is tolerated, and the effect of RMJH-111b on blood pressure in subjects with hypertension. The study also measured the amount of magnesium in the blood and urine before and after RMJH-111b administration to evaluate what the body does to RMJH-111b (pharmacokinetics).

To evaluate antihypertensive effect and safety of CS-3150 compared to Eplerenone in patients with essential hypertension.

Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) is a novel metric developed to quantify the amount of routine physical activity (PA) needed to improve health and reduce cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The PAI metric can be integrated in PA monitors to promote and track PA. The present pilot study is a 12-week randomized controlled trial designed to test the efficacy of PAI in the treatment of high blood pressure. The primary aim is to investigate how routine PA (expressed as PAI level) affect ambulatory blood pressure by comparing the effect of the intervention (≥100 PAI per week) with a control recommended to follow national PA guidelines. The secondary aims are to investigate the effect on a comprehensive CV risk profile, and to model the effect of PAI level on multiple CV parameters. The CV risk profile includes office BP, arterial stiffness, stroke volume, heart rate, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, blood lipid profile and serum markers of glucose metabolism, kidney failure and systemic inflammation.

Arterial hypertension (HT) was the leading global contributor for premature deaths in 2015. Its treatment includes medication and lifestyle changes, namely diet and regular exercise, which has shown to have an inverse relationship with arterial HT. Recreational soccer (RS) has proven to be a non-pharmacological treatment for several chronic conditions, including arterial HT, with meaningful decreases on blood pressure (BP). Recreation futsal (RF) is expected to elicit comparable BP changes to RS considering that it imposes similar physical and physiological demands. However, the effects of RF on BP and other cardiovascular markers have not been previously investigated in participants only with controlled arterial HT. Furthermore, acute BP changes and double product elicited by this exercise modality were never described. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to assess if RF is an effective coadjuvant intervention for BP control in adults with controlled arterial HT. Secondary purposes are: i) to determine the impact of RF on other cardiovascular markers; ii) to describe the acute BP changes and the double product elicited by RF; and iii) to assess the impact of 1 month of detraining on BP and other cardiovascular markers (4 months).

This study intends to further reveal the antihypertensive effect of LRIC and explore its potential mechanisms.
