Using vascular age to improve blood pressure control
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether telling patients about their "vascular age" (how old their arteries are) helps community pharmacists and doctors work together to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. If you have high blood pressure, you may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your blood pressure measured at a pharmacy must be 140/90 or higher.
- A 24-hour blood pressure monitor must show an average of 130/80 or higher.
- You must be willing to fill out forms about your health, medications, and habits.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You must understand the project well enough (no language barrier).
