Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

In the present study, the investigators want to investigate the prevalence of BMPR-2 gene mutations in the Korean PAH patients (Step-I) and to test that the PAH patients treated with iloprost inhalation solution (Ventavis®) would show hemodynamic response, especially assessed by exercise echocardiography (Step-II).

Measurement of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) with the oscillometric device WatchBP Office will be assessed compared to the reference method (Doppler). Ninety three adult subjects assessed for hypertension, treated or untreated, with complete study data were included. Data on the presence of cardiovascular (CV) disease and classical CV risk factors were recorded. All the ABI measurements of each individual participant will be performed by the same observer in a randomized order (concerning Doppler and WatchBP)

To evaluate (with sufficient accuracy) the profile(demographic and clinical characteristics, health care management) of hypertensive patients seen in private cardiology consultation by holding account of type of exercise of the cardiologist (private exclusive or mixed hospital and private).

This study will address the treatment rate and control rate of hypertension, treatment pattern and factors to affect blood pressure control by examining (retrospective) medical records of hypertension patients having Type 2 Diabetes mellitus, among outpatients coming to the Endocrinology Department in 20 general hospital settings nationwide.

The purpose of this study is evaluate adherence to DuoTrav® when reinforced by the use of the Travalert™ Dosing Aid.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the pre-operative symptoms and medical history of patients with portal hypertension who have undergone placement of H-graft portacaval shunts and correlate this with patient outcomes.

Endothelial dysfunction ultimately represents an imbalance between the magnitude of injury and the capacity for repair. Current evidence established that endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) participate in several models of vascular disease as acute coronary syndromes, stroke, diabetes, peripheral artery disease, etc. However EPC in the setting of PAH is less well established. The target of this study is to demonstrate if the number of EPC is increased in a mexican population of patients with PAH.

This study will address the proportion of achievement patients in treatment target goal on glycemic control, hypertension and hyperlipidemia according to ADA 2008 guideline, among outpatients coming to the Korean primary care nationwide.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the association between incidence of neurological morbidity and minimum fractional blood pressure reached during laminectomy procedures under general anesthesia in hypertensive and normotensive subjects 40 years old and older.

We are collecting baseline data on patients who have high blood pressure readings (160/100 or higher) at a 9-1-1 response by an EMT.
