Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The aim of this observational study was to supplement the data on efficacy, safety, and tolerability of telmisartan under daily conditions in hospitals

This is an out-patient based prospective, multi-centre, observational post-marketing surveillance study amongst internists and cardiologists. In this study, patients with essential hypertension and at least one additional risk factor will be included. Patients may take any antihypertensive treatment which is approved for cardiovascular protection including Micardis 80 mg / Micardis Plus. Patients will be followed over one year in four visits from baseline to endpoint with an additional visit before and after the month of Ramadan.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and associate it with the endothelial function behavior in patients with resistant hypertension. Two groups will be evaluate, one presenting uncontrolled high blood pressure, and other, with controlled blood pressure by drugs.

The purpose of this study is to compare, when combined with chronic exercise, the effects of perindopril, losartan, and hydrochlorothiazide.

Patients managed by a newly formed pharmacist-physician medication therapy management team in a university primary care clinic will have better blood pressure control than patients receiving usual care.

The aim was to test if interpersonal relationships group strategies provided by nursing can promote an additional benefit on blood pressure (BP) control and quality of life (QoL) in hypertensive patients. Methods: 21 treated patients were randomized into two groups: Group A 10 patients (8 women), underwent to a health educational orientation program (inter-relational strategy), with group meetings every 15 days during 4 months(8 meetings). Group B 11 patients (7 women), who underwent group orientation by the nurse every 40 days during 4 months (3 meetings). Both groups received the same content guidelines (healthy lifestyle and prevention of risk factors). The patients had 2 visits by nurses at baseline (15 days) and at the final study (120 days). BP was measured by auscultatory method and QoL questionnaire (WHOQoL-Brief)was applied. The dispensing and pill counts were done every 30 days. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed at baseline and after 120 days.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are with 50.000 deaths every year one of the major causes of maternal mortality worldwide, especially in low and middle income countries. This trial aims to determine whether a daily dose of combined low-dose aspirin, calcium, vitamin D3, folic acid and vitamin B12 in pregnancy reduces the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension in women at risk. Secondary and tertiary objectives include other maternal and neonatal outcomes.

There is a relationship between CSM and hypertension, probably a cause/effect relationship, and investigators term this type of hypertension "cervicogenic hypertension". Abnormally functioning serotonergic pacemaker cells in the dorsal raphe nucleus inappropriately activate and inhibit parts of the central and autonomic nervous systems as part of a chronic stress response, which causes hypertension and migraine. This theory is now being expanded to encompass both CSM and essential hypertension, the idea being that these two conditions are intimately related.

Prospective observational drug registry developed to characterize the safety profile (including primarily potential serious hepatic risks) and to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly treated with Opsumit in the post-marketing setting.

The purpose of this survey is to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term use of candesartan cilexetil/amlodipine besilate combination tablets (Unisia Combination Tablets) low dose (LD), high dose (HD) in participants with hypertension in the normal clinical setting.
