Childhood high blood pressure natural history study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows children and young adults who have high blood pressure that started in childhood. It aims to understand why some kids develop high blood pressure without a clear cause, by looking at their genes, family history, and health over time. Participants will provide samples and medical information to help researchers learn more.
