Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

To investigate the clinical utility of renal denervation in the treatment of refractory hypertension.

To determine the genetic components of hypertension using a series of simulation experiments designed to determine the power and validity of the then recently developed methods of segregation and linkage analysis.

To determine whether low total urinary kallikrein activity was prospectively associated with new hypertension onset or elevated blood pressures.

To investigate whether a health education program, developed in partnership with the community and delivered by nurse supervised community health workers (CHWs), lowered high blood pressure (HBP) in inner city African American adults.

To continue an international collaborative study on hypertension in populations of West African origin.

To investigate the relationship between life-stress factors associated with socioeconomic conditions and hypertension.

The purpose of the study is to compare exercise capacity, cardiac contractility, pulmonary vascular pressures and heart rate variability between patients with an atrial septal defect and healthy controls.

In this retrospective cohort study, we mapped the care cascades for both Hypertension and HIV within a HIV program in Uganda with the goal of identifying opportunities for developing contextually appropriate integrated care models, .

The study was carried out to determine the prevalence,incidence and factors associated with intra-abdominal hypertension among patients admitted in three intensive care units in Kampala Uganda. It was a multi-center prospective cohort study carried out in three intensive care units where 126 patients that met the eligibility criteria were included in the study,demographics,of these were recorded and intra-abdominal pressure measured using the intra-vesical technique at 0,24,and 72 hours.data entry was done using epi-data version 3.1.Data analysis is on going.

This study evaluates the impact of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on sympathetic nerve activity and arterial stiffness. The investigator's central hypothesis is that MBSR will reduce sympathetic activity and arterial stiffness.
