Active clinical trials for "Hypertension"

Genetic studies of hypertension, focusing on renin-angiotensin system genes and other interacting genes

This study is a case controlled study comparing mental health status and some psychological impacts between two groups of patients first group is pregnant women without any other medical disorder during pregnancy,the second group is pregnant women complaining of hypertension with pregnancy.

Impaired myocardial deformation may determine cardiac diastolic dysfunction. The investigators will investigate the vascular determinants of myocardial deformation and twisting-untwisting and their interrelation with exercise capacity in patients with untreated arterial hypertension

The study addresses epidemiology of cardiovascular risk factors and major cardiovascular diseases in Russian Federation (urban and rural population). 12 regions of 1600 participants in each will be included.

The objective of this study is to know prevalence of clinical or subclinical target organ damages in Korea hypertensives by constructing nationwide hypertension registry. We will register 5000 consecutive patients with incident hypertension at 20 major university hospitals in South Korea. We will investigate clinical/subclinical target organ damages, renin/aldosterone level and cardiovascular events in each patient.

There will be assessment of patients after acute pulmonary embolism for the development of CTEPH

This study is a registry study to examine the clinical features, blood pressure control rate, and clinical prognosis of resistant hypertension in Koreans. This study will register patients with resistance hypertension in eight tertiary hospitals in Korea and follow up them for three years. The prognosis will be analysed according to etiologies, achieved blood pressure, and types of antihypertensive medication.

Russian National Registry of Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) is a multicenter, observational study of the clinical course and disease management of PAH and CTEPH patients. designed to gather demographic, clinical and prognostic data of routine medical care in prospective manner for newly initiated treatment since Jan 2016. The internet-based registry (www.medibase.pro) fulfills high quality standards through several measures (planned minimum centre contribution of at least 10 patients per year, automated plausibility checks of data at entry, queries, monitoring with source data verification in >50% of participating centers). All consecutive patients diagnosed with World Health Organization Pulmonary Hypertension Groups (WHO Group I) PAH according to specific hemodynamic criteria will be enrolled in participating centers after signing the informed consents. Participating patients will be followed for a minimum of five years from the time of enrollment. It can be applied, among further purposes, for quality assurance: individual centers can confidentially compare their results with the combined outcome of the other centers. It is expected that the registry contributes to optimization of specific drug therapy for PAH and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).

To identified prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic factors of IAH and ACS in surgical critically ill patients in institutional hospital

Nocturnal hypertension (i.e. blood pressure values >120/70 or 10% higher than diurnal values, as measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ABPM) is particularly frequent in renal transplant recipients (RTR), despite the use of antihypertensive drugs. Since RTR are also affected by several sleep disorders (like insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnoea) that frankly impair their quality of sleep (SQ), the aim of the present study is to ascertain whether a relationship exists between nocturnal hypertension and SQ. In fact, both nocturnal hypertension and sleep disorders may favour the onset or the progression of cardiovascular diseases, the first cause of death in RTR.
