Blood Pressure, High

An estimated 120 million people have high blood pressure (hypertension) in the US, of which approximately 10% have resistant hypertension. This study aims to enroll patients who continue to have hypertension while being treated with at least two medications. The study will follow patients for approximately 3 months and collect real-world information on changes in their health to identify an ideal patient profile that would benefit from 4th-line antihypertensive therapies, including, but not limited to, FDA-approved aprocitentan, renal denervation, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, etc.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study whether having a clinical decision support (CDS) tool available to clinician use will more effectively lower BP 4 weeks after an outpatient visit compared with usual care. The main objective is to assess the impact of the CDS tool, that is embedded with the electronic medical record (EMR), that is available during outpatient clinical encounters, on blood pressure (BP) changes among participants with uncontrolled hypertension. Participants will: Visit the clinic 4 weeks, after their initial clinician visit, for a BP check.

Individuals who have insomnia with short sleep duration (ISS) differ from individuals who have insomnia with normal sleep duration (INS) in terms of health risks (i.e., hypertension) and treatment response. This study will examine whether patients with ISS and INS demonstrate a differential response to two common insomnia treatments. One is behavioral, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). The other is a widely prescribed, non-habit-forming medication, trazodone used at a low dose. The investigators' findings could lead to evidence-based treatment guidelines that help clinicians more effectively match treatments to insomnia patients and reduce associated health problems.

The goal of the clinical trial is to understand the effect of two resistance training protocols employing different loading intensities (% of 1 repetition maximum; 1-RM), but with standardized effort intensity (2 repetitions in reserve; RIR) on post-exercise and ambulatory blood pressure in aging females. The main questions it aims to answer are: * to examine the acute effects of low (50% 1-RM) and high (80% 1-RM) load intensity resistance exercise with a standardized high effort intensity on post-exercise hypotension and ambulatory blood pressure responses in aging females; * deepen the understanding of the mechanisms underlying acute reductions in blood pressure in response to resistance exercise performed at different load intensities. To this end, autonomic activity will be estimated alongside the measurement of central arterial compliance (i.e., carotid artery), and serum biomarkers of endothelial function; * document the affective valence and enjoyment associated with low (50% 1-RM) and high (80% 1-RM) load intensity resistance exercise when performed at a high perceived effort. Researchers will compare the effect of: 1) a low load (LL-RE) intensity protocol consisting of 3 sets of each exercise at 50% 1-RM, performed until reaching a hard perceived effort intensity (i.e., RIR-2); 2) high load (HL-RE) intensity protocol consisting of 3 sets of each exercise at 80% of 1-RM, performed until reaching a hard perceived effort intensity (i.e., RIR-2); 3) and a control condition (CON) consisting of a standardized non-fatiguing cognitive task. Participants will participate in: * A preliminary assessment visit; * Two familiarization visits to validate the exercise prescriptions; * Three experimental visits (CON, LL-RE, HL-RE).

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the CART BP, a medically approved ring-type blood pressure monitor, in comparison to the traditional auscultatory method using a dual-head stethoscope. The comparison is conducted in accordance with the 2023 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) Recommendations, focusing on patients with suspected hypertension or hypotension. The evaluation includes accuracy measurements across various postures and during different exercise periods.

SMART goal setting is a patient-led method that can help improve execution and facilitate behavioral changes. Functions such as diet tracking, interaction, and feedback in smartphone application may help enhance patient compliance. This study aims to explore the nutrition intervention measures of SMART goal setting combined with smartphone applications for daily self-management on the effect of improving diet quality of people with high blood pressure.

The goal of this clinical trial is to analyse the prevalence of new or uncontrolled arterial hypertension (AHT) after hospital discharge of medical in-patients with elevated blood pressure (BP) values during hospitalisation. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do elevated BP values during hospitalisation correspond to new or uncontrolled AHT after hospital discharge? * Is it safe to postpone adaption of antihypertensive treatment until after proper evaluation of AHT after hospital discharge? Participants will either be treated according to their physicians' decision or antihypertensive treatment adaptions will be postponed until after hospital discharge.

To evaluate whether in patients with initially poorly-controlled arterial hypertension, structural and functional differences in the retina and choroid remain after achieving a well-controlled blood pressure.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer type in European women. Patients treated for early non-metastatic breast cancer comprise a growing group of survivors due to early diagnosis and improved treatment. Many of these survivors experience adverse effects such as decreased bone mineral density, derangement of metabolic markers (fat, glucose, insulin) and increased blood pressure. Increasing risk of bone fracture and cardiometabolic disease (eg. diabetes mellitus type 2). The purpose of this study is to identify mechanisms behind cardiometabolic changes that may be connected to the (neo-)adjuvant treatment. On top of this we hope to indentify potential biological markers that can help prevent development of metabolic disease. We will be recruiting 120 post-menopausal women age 50-70 with early breast cancer and 1-2 times a year for 5 years examine bone mineral density, body composition, glucose and fat metabolism and nerve damage. A questionnaire will be used to collect information on diet, physical activity and quality of life. Derudover anvendes spørgeskemaer til at indsamle information vedrørende. This new knowledge will help clinicians start adequate preventive measures to help patients avoid cardiometabolic disease secondary to cancer treatment.
