Blood Pressure, Artery Stiffness, and Metabolic Health Study
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study examines how blood pressure patterns over 24 hours relate to artery stiffness and metabolic health markers like blood sugar and triglycerides. Understanding these connections may help doctors better predict heart disease risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years
- Not currently taking blood pressure medication
- Willing to wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours as part of routine care
- Able to have artery stiffness measured (a painless ultrasound test)
- Recent fasting blood work available (glucose and triglycerides)
- No irregular heartbeat, severe vascular disease, or pregnancy

This study compares three ways to measure pulse wave velocity (a marker of artery stiffness) in people with high blood pressure. It uses a simple arm cuff, a special 24-hour monitor, and an estimated formula to see which method best helps doctors understand arterial health.
This study measures how your blood pressure changes across the day in people at higher risk of heart and blood vessel disease. It may help researchers understand why blood pressure patterns vary, which could guide better prevention or care.
This study tests whether more intensive blood pressure lowering can improve artery health in older Veterans. You would be randomly assigned to standard or tighter blood pressure control and get free study-related care and monitoring.
This study collects information from people at risk for heart disease, stroke, or kidney problems to better understand how to prevent these conditions. If you join, you'll be helping doctors learn more about how to keep blood vessels healthy.
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 trial looks at how blood pressure and heart rate change when standing up or exercising in healthy people and in older adults with high blood pressure. It aims to understand how the body's automatic (autonomic) nervous system controls these functions.
