Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The purpose of this double-masked, randomized, controlled study is to assess the safety and ocular hypotensive efficacy of four different doses of SYL040012 (bamosiran) eye drops compared to Timolol maleate 0.5% after 28 treatment days in patients with elevated intraocular pressure.

Assess and compare the efficacy and safety of Kanarb (Fimasartan), manufactured by Boryung Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Republic of Korea, tablets 60/120 mg and Cozaar® (Losartan), manufactured by MERCK SHARP & DOHME B.V., Netherlands, tablet 50/100 mg in adult patients with Grade I-II arterial hypertension in 12 weeks of therapy

Aerobic exercise has the potential to diminish blood pressure values. The aim of this study is to determine whether this potential is also applicable for those with resistant hypertension and whether exercise intensity plays a role in this context. We hypothesize that performing an aerobic exercise session reduces blood pressure values in resistant hypertensive patients in a dose-response relation with exercise intensity.

Current recommendations today suggest that use of therapeutic lifestyle changes, such as supplementation with specific dietary components and moderate exercise, are appropriate interventions for individuals with borderline high blood pressure. Dietary intervention with natural products, such as flaxseed, is associated with decreased prevalence of cardiovascular disease (Adolphe 2010). Lignans are the active compounds in flaxseed believed to mediate the cardiovascular health benefits following flaxseed consumption (Peterson 2010). Clinical trials indicate benefit of Flax Lignan Enriched Complex (FLC) (BeneFlax® from Archer Daniels Midland, a natural product derived from flaxseed composed of 34-38% lignan) for reducing blood cholesterol and glucose (Pan 2007; Zhang 2008) and blood pressure (Cornish 2009). Furthermore, a recent study in atherosclerosis patients showed significant clinical benefit of flaxseed meal for reducing blood pressure (Rodriguez-Leyva 2013). As a therapeutic lifestyle change that could prevent a need to introduce drug therapy in elderly patients, the effectiveness of FLC supplementation alone or in combination with moderate exercise merits investigation.

The study examined the efficacy of LCZ696 in comparison to the ARB olmesartan on Central Aortic Systolic Blood Pressure (CASP) and other measures of central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness in elderly patients with an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) and widened pulse pressure (PP).

This research study is being conducted to examine the effects of daily inorganic nitrite treatment on the cardiometabolic and hormonal disturbances observed in overweight/obese adults with the metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure. Ultimately, oral nitrite therapy may have a major impact on the prevention and treatment of both diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the ROX Anastomotic Coupler System (ACS) in patients with severe hypertension.

To compare and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Candemore tab. versus Atacand tab. on blood pressure in patients with hypertension diagnosed congestive heart failure

The Five Plus Nuts & Beans Study is a randomized, controlled trial to compare two strategies for translating the results of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Study into practice for 120 African American participants who are on stable doses of antihypertensive medications. The first arm of our study offers minimal DASH-oriented dietary advice along with a food credit at a local supermarket where they make their own decision of what to eat. The second arm consists of a single one-hour session with a nutrition expert who provides choices and places an on-line order from a community grocery store (Santoni's Market) with targeted purchases of fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. Our primary outcome is change in blood pressure at 8 weeks. Secondary outcomes are effects on glucose, uric acid, urine potassium excretion, and self-report consumption of fruits and vegetables during the same period.

This clinical investigation is being performed to compare the effect of BOL-303259-X dosed once daily (QD) with timolol maleate 0.5% dosed twice daily (BID) in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) measured over a 24-hour period in subjects with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
