Blood pressure patterns and heart health in hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during sleep (dipping) relates to the heart's electrical activity in people with high blood pressure. It uses 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, an ECG, and an echocardiogram to understand this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older

This study looks at how your sleep schedule and body clock relate to blood pressure control. You may be asked to follow a study plan that helps researchers understand what sleep and daily timing changes do to hypertension.
This study looks at how to manage high blood pressure specifically during sleep, aiming to lower the risk it can cause over time. It may help you if your blood pressure readings stay high at night even if you’re otherwise able to function normally.
This study looks at how sleep timing and sleep patterns may change your blood pressure at night. If you are already enrolled in the parent research study, you may be invited to take part here.
This study tests whether using a wearable, cuffless blood pressure monitor for 24 hours can help manage blood pressure better than standard office checks. It may help patients with high blood pressure find a more convenient way to track and control it.
This study looks at how changes in home blood pressure readings over time relate to hardening of the arteries and metabolic problems in people with high blood pressure. If you take medication for high blood pressure and monitor your pressure at home, you may help researchers understand these connections better.
This study tests whether checking your blood pressure at home and talking with a pharmacist by video helps control high blood pressure. You'll use a home blood pressure monitor and have telehealth visits with a pharmacist to help manage your readings.
