12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To determine if 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring effects endothelial function, we will measure flow-mediated dilation before and after the blood pressure monitoring (ischemia conditioning).
The investigators are observing the effects 2,000 mg of L-tyrosine will have on 24 hour blood pressure fluctuations in individuals with Parkinson's disease.
High normal blood pressure, also called prehypertension, is a significant problem. High uric acid in the blood, the same thing that causes gout, may cause higher blood pressures. The investigators plan to monitor the effects of the drug febuxostat(trade name Uloric) on blood pressure and stiffness of the main blood vessels and see if lowering uric acid has any effect.
to test whether using CPAP can restore the normal pattern of drop of blood pressure during sleep.
This study will investigate the effect on ambulatory blood pressure of lumiracoxib 100 mg once daily versus ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day in osteoarthritis patients with controlled hypertension.
The purpose of this trial is to characterize the effects of 2 oral doses (over 8 weeks total) of CVL-231 on ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate in patients with stable schizophrenia.
This study is designed to explore the feasibility of providing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in community pharmacies. The investigators hypothesize it will be feasible for community pharmacies to provide the service to assist medical providers in the diagnosing and management of high blood pressure. The investigators will also survey participants regarding their experience with the service as well as conduct interviews with participating pharmacists and medical providers to understand their views and opinions on the feasibility of the service.
This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover study to evaluate the effect of AMG 151 on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and glucose levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are on a stable regimen of metformin alone, metformin and a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4), metformin and a thiazolidinedione (TZD), or metformin, a DPP4, and a TZD for a minimum of 3 months prior to randomization.
The study is designed to accurately assess any changes in blood pressure and pulse at 100 and 200 mg daily dose of milnacipran in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.
An increasing number of studies have indicated that most fast food and common grocery items, contain large amount of inorganic phosphate-based food additives , which are highly absorbable. The long-term cardiovascular consequences of a high phosphate diet are unknown but the existing database implicates phosphate excess as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in individuals with and without chronic kidney diseases (CKD). High phosphate consumption clearly induces BP elevation in rats with normal kidneys. However, the mechanisms underlying phosphate-induced hypertension and the relevance of these rodent studies to human hypertension have not been determined. We seek to investigate the role of high phosphate diet in human hypertension and assess the effect of high phosphate diet on muscle sympathetic nerve activity and the exercise pressor reflex.
One in three American adults have prediabetes, and up to 70% of adults with prediabetes eventually develop type 2 diabetes. With the high cost of treating diabetes, cost-effective approaches are needed to reduce the incidence of diabetes. One new strategy may be to change when people eat. Studies in rodents suggest that a form of intermittent fasting that limits eating to a short time period each day and involves fasting for the rest of the day (time-restricted eating; TRE) improves blood sugar control and cardiovascular health. Preliminary studies suggest that TRE also improves blood sugar, weight loss, and cardiovascular health in humans. This study will be the first full-scale, controlled feeding trial to determine whether TRE can improve 24-hour blood sugar control, 24-hour blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease risk factors even when food intake is matched to the control group. This clinical trial will also determine whether the benefits of TRE depend on the time of day that people eat. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: (1) 'Early TRE' (eat between \~8 am-3 pm), (2) 'Mid-day TRE' (eat between \~1 pm - 8 pm), or (3) Control Schedule (\~8 am - 8 pm) for 8 weeks. All food will be provided and matched between groups.
A randomized,double-blind,double-dummy,active controlled,15 week study to evaluate the effects of nebivolol and valsartan alone and in combination on 24-hour ambulatory cardiac work and variability of heart rate-mean central systolic pressure product.
