Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

Sympathetic nervous activity plays an important role in the development of hypertension and studies have shown that the pannexin-1 channel is involved in the signalling of the sympathetic activity to the vascular bed. The main project aim is to investigate the effects of 10 weeks of high intensity training on the effect of the sympathetic nervous activity on vascular function in individuals with essential hypertension. A secondary aim is to assess the role of essential hypertension and physical activity on vascular endothelial function,

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability when administrated fixed dose combination of Fimasartan/Linagliptin and when co-administrated Fimasartan and Linagliptin.

The overall objective of this project is to bring forth evidence that L-Citrulline (L-CIT) supplementation and low intensity resistance exercise training (LIRET) alone and combined will improve vascular function and muscle fitness (mass, strength, and exercise performance) in postmenopausal women with hypertension. The investigators' central hypothesis is that adjuvant L-CIT supplementation may synergistically enhance vascular (arterial stiffness, BP, muscle oxygenation, blood flow) and muscular (strength, exercise performance) responses to LIRET in postmenopausal women with hypertension by improving endothelial vasodilatory function.

Resistance exercise training is one of the popular exercise modes that has been drawn the public's attention. However, existing evidence showed high-intensity resistance exercise training-induced negative adaptation on vascular function and blood pressure responses. Upper-body resistance exercise training is more likely to induced arterial stiffening, which has been shown to be gender-dependent. It is still unknown whether age also plays a role. We like to test the hypothesis that high-intensity upper body resistance exercise may lead to a higher increase of arterial stiffness, central blood pressure, and hemodynamic parameters in younger adults than older adults. We also hypothesize high intensity resistance training could contribute to greater central hemodynamic responses and muscle stiffness than the control; the change of muscle stiffness correlates with the change of hemodynamic parameters. Collectively, study 1 in this project is aimed to recruit 40 apparently healthy young (20-35yrs) and middle-aged to older adults (50-75yrs) into this study followed by upper-body or lower-body high-intensity exercise (80% 1 repetition maximum, 10 reps, 4 sets) by a randomized order. Blood draw, central blood pressure, hemodynamics will be performed and obtained at pre-, immediately-post, 20min, 40mins, and 60 mins post-exercise. Study 2 is aimed to investigate the effects of 8-week whole-body resistance exercise training followed by a 4-week detraining on above-measured variables in order to determine the long-term effects on resistance training. We will employee state-of-art ultrafast ultrasound to obtain muscle stiffness and carotid local pulse wave velocity. Endothelin-1 and catecholamines will also be measured to discover its underlying mechanisms on such stiffening effects induced by high-intensity resistance exercise.

This research will be conducted to determine the effects of education and telephone counseling given to hypertension patients on drug treatment compliance and rational drug use.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Sacha Inchi Oil supplementation among the 3Hs patients.

Evaluate the effect of lifestyle modification through the adoption of a DASH diet, with and without physical activity guidance, on blood pressure and insulin sensitivity in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

This pilot study will randomize 34 patients with hypertension and obesity to either time-restricted feeding alone or a commitment device to encourage time-restricted feeding, including a commitment pledge, involvement of a supportive partner, setting of implementation intentions, and multiple daily reminder text messages. The intervention will last 12 weeks, followed by a 6-week follow-up period. The primary outcome is adherence to the IF regimen, captured via daily text message, over 18 weeks

To assess the effect of acupuncture versus sham acupuncture on regulating the targeted metabolome of hypertensive patients.

The objective of this study is to reduce the effects of stereotype threat on the adherence of African American patients with hypertension. The specific aims of this study, which employs a values affirmation intervention, are to: Compare the effects of the values-affirmation exercise to a control condition on antihypertensive medication adherence in African American patients with uncontrolled hypertension across three clinical settings, Compare the effects of the values-affirmation exercise on antihypertensive medication adherence in African American patients and white patients with uncontrolled hypertension and similar socioeconomic characteristics, and Evaluate the intervention for widespread dissemination using the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance) framework
