Blood pressure changes and frailty in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes over time in older adults with high blood pressure, and how it relates to frailty (a state of increased weakness). The goal is to learn more about managing blood pressure in older people.
