Vascular age to improve blood pressure control with pharmacy help
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether telling people their 'vascular age' (how old their arteries are compared to their real age) helps them work better with their doctor and pharmacist to lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, this could help you get more support in managing it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your blood pressure measured at a pharmacy is 140/90 or higher.
- A 24-hour blood pressure monitor test shows an average of 130/80 or higher.
- You are willing to fill out forms about your health habits, medicines, and medical history.
- You are not pregnant, and you are able to understand the study information (no language barrier).
- No condition (like an irregular heartbeat or very large arm) prevents accurate blood pressure measurement, and you haven't had a vascular age test in the past year.
