Artery check-up for people with high blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at images of arteries in the neck, kidney, and leg of people with high blood pressure to better understand how blood pressure affects these blood vessels. It may help find problems that need extra care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have high blood pressure (hypertension) diagnosed by a doctor, whether or not it is currently being treated.

This study looks at new ways to measure heart structure and heart pumping function in people with high blood pressure. The results may help doctors better understand heart changes over time and improve care.
This study looks at tiny particles from blood vessel cells to understand early changes in people with newly diagnosed high blood pressure. It compares people with normal blood pressure and those with high blood pressure who have never been treated.
This study looks at how the heart muscle reacts in people with high blood pressure. You may have heart imaging (MRI) and blood pressure monitoring to understand patterns and potential ways to help.
This study looks at how stiff the arteries are in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to healthy controls. The results may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care for young people with kidney problems.
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.
