Renin and Aldosterone Levels in the Preterm Neonate At Risk for Hypertension
HypertensionDiabetes1 moreThe purpose of this study is to find out if mothers with high blood pressure (Hypertension) and/or diabetes have babies with high levels of different substances (that help to regulate blood pressure, called Renin and Aldosterone) in their blood. The investigators are also trying to determine if these babies have higher blood pressure than those babies born to mothers without high blood pressure or diabetes, during the first year of life. The investigators will measure your baby's blood pressure once a day for the first 4 days, at 1 week of age, and then once per week until your baby is discharged. The investigators will also measure the blood pressure after discharge at 4 and 10 months of age, either on the day of your baby's follow-up appointment in the Neonatal Follow-up Clinic or at a visit to our Outpatient Nephrology Clinic, both at CHEO.

It will evaluate target BP achievement rate in patients with stroke compared to patients without stroke and investigate factors affecting BP target goal efficacy in these patients.

A Cohort Study of Morning Home Blood Pressure Measurement in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
HypertensionType 2 DiabetesPrevious cross-sectional studies have demonstrated that blood pressure (BP) measurements at home (HBP) in the morning offer stronger predictive power for micro- and macrovascular complications in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes than casual/clinic blood pressure measurements (CBP). The present study examined which of HBP or CBP provides the stronger predictive power for outcomes by comparing cumulative events between hypertensive and normotensive patients over 6 years in a prospective, longitudinal study of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Canadian Study of Trandolapril on Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients
HypertensionThe in-MAU-tion study is conducted to determine the percentage of hypertensive participants with or without diabetes reaching CHEP (Canadian Hypertension Education Program) defined blood pressure targets. Additionally, the study assesses change in renal function (microalbuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate) in hypertensive participants treated with trandolapril (Mavik®) and examines patient satisfaction with trandolapril (Mavik®) therapy.
