Exercise effects on heart health in women with hypertension and obesity
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies how a supervised exercise program affects heart health and a protein called sestrin-2 in women who have both high blood pressure and obesity. It aims to see if exercise can improve cardiometabolic health in this group.

This study tests how different exercise routines affect heart and metabolic health in women after menopause. It may help if you are already active, have few heart risk factors, and are not on hormone therapy.
This study tests whether short bursts of exercise throughout the day can improve heart vessel function and body composition in people aged 18–35 who are overweight. Researchers will measure changes in blood vessel health and body fat distribution.
This study looks at how obesity affects tiny blood vessels and blood flow. It also checks whether a specific training/exercise approach changes these “microvascular” effects in premenopausal women who fit certain metabolic risk criteria.
This study tests whether a physical activity program can help lower the risk of heart failure in older adults who already have high blood pressure and early signs of heart strain. If you are fairly inactive and fit the criteria, you may be able to join a 12-week program to see if exercise improves your heart health.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve how your body uses fat. It is designed for postmenopausal women with higher weight and prediabetes who are not currently exercising much.
