Lower blood pressure after a heart or stroke event
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests ways to help lower blood pressure in people who have had a heart attack or stroke and are at higher risk for more problems. If your blood pressure is high, the program may help reduce risk by getting it under better control.

This study tests whether a group-based program can help people with high blood pressure and a recent mild to moderate stroke better manage their blood pressure. You'll work with a team and use online tools to keep your blood pressure in a healthy range.
This study tests whether setting a lower blood pressure goal can help prevent future memory and thinking problems in older adults. It compares a more intensive blood pressure plan with usual care to see if it better protects the brain over time.
This study tests whether lowering blood pressure quickly inside a specialized ambulance (mobile stroke unit) can improve outcomes for people with bleeding in the brain. It aims to see if this early treatment is safe and effective.
This trial tests whether a mobile technology program can help people manage risk factors like high blood pressure after an ischemic stroke or a “mini-stroke” (TIA). It may help lower future cardiovascular risks by improving day-to-day control of these conditions.
This pilot study aims to improve access to blood pressure management in community settings. If you have elevated blood pressure readings, this trial may help connect you with resources and support to manage your health.
This study compares two blood pressure targets in people with cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. It looks at whether the lower target can improve outcomes and help evaluate treatment costs.
