Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

The purpose of this study is to examine socio-cultural factors of women's use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The effects of socioeconomic status, social networks and acculturation on CAM use will be assessed among white, African-, Mexican-, and Chinese-American women.

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 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.

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.

The recent hypertension clinical practice guidelines published by American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) reduced the target BP to 130/80 mmHg, indicating the needs for more aggressive efforts in hypertension treatment. However, studies in Koreans must be preceded before applying such new overseas guidelines; thus, this study has been designed to establish clinical materials reflecting treatment setting in Korea. In this study, patients with uncontrolled hypertension whose antihypertensive regimens are changed to ARB-based therapy (ARB monotherapy or ARB-containing combination therapy) will be followed to assess the treatment trend, treatment effect, and risk of cardiovascular disease.

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.

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 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.
