Genes and blood pressure response study for adults with hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how your genes affect your body's blood pressure hormones (called natriuretic peptides) and how your blood pressure responds to changes. By joining, you may help find better ways to treat high blood pressure based on your unique genetic makeup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and agree to provide a blood or saliva sample for genetic testing.
- You have stage 1 or 2 high blood pressure (systolic 130-159 or diastolic 80-99).
- You are taking no more than one blood pressure medication at the start.
- You do not have serious heart disease (heart attack, stroke, heart failure, irregular heartbeat) or a history of seizures.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have severe kidney disease, insulin-treated diabetes, anemia, or very high BMI (over 45).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at how well blood pressure is managed in people with hypertension. It may help find better ways to control blood pressure and reduce risks like heart attack or stroke.
This study uses your genetic information (a polygenic risk score) to guide personalized blood pressure management. It aims to help people with high blood pressure and overall poor heart health improve their levels through tailored advice.
This study looks at how your genes affect the way your body handles salt and blood pressure. It may help doctors understand why some people's blood pressure is sensitive to salt.
This study looks at how different amounts of salt in your diet affect your gut bacteria and blood pressure. You may be asked to follow a special diet for a short time to see how your body responds.
This study tests whether your blood pressure is sensitive to salt intake. Researchers will provide you with controlled meals for two weeks to see how your body responds, then invite qualifying participants to continue with a personalized follow-up study.
