About this study
To determine the distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy and retinal vascular abnormalities in children and adolescents with essential hypertension; to evaluate potential risk factors and the time sequence for the development of these end-organ complications in this population.
Read the detailed description
BACKGROUND:
Elevated blood pressure has been established as an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. The major manifestations of end-organ pathology associated with hypertension include congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, including renal failure and retinopathy. As blood pressure has been studied in children, it has become evident that adult essential hypertension and its complications may have origins in adolescence and childhood. Clinical observations have shown that some individuals with elevated blood pressure will develop one form of morbidity, while others develop a different form, and still others do not develop any complications. The reasons for this are unknown. Few studies have been done which attempt to delineate risk factors for the development of the different end-organ pathologies in hypertensive individuals. Two end-organ problems are particularly amenable to study in children. Ultrasound examination of the heart allows the non-invasive study of left ventricular hypertrophy which is an important precursor to the development of congestive heart failure. Retinal examination by fundal photograph and fluorescein angiography allows the examination of the effects of elevated blood pressure on the vessels of the eye.
DESIGN NARRATIVE:
The first phase of the study had a cross-sectional design. In this phase, echocardiography was used to measure left ventricular dimensions, mass, volume and function and fundoscopic examination and fluorescein angiography were used to determine retinal vascular abnormalities. Data were collected on the independent variables of age, sex, race, obesity, level and duration of increased blood pressure, ambulatory variability of blood pressure, family history of hypertension, treatment with antihypertensive medication, sodium intake, smoking, alcohol use, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin, basal plasma renin activity, plasma catecholamines, cardiovascular reactions to mental stress and to exercise. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine which of the independent variables were independently associated with left ventricular mass, creatinine clearance, and retinal vascular abnormality.
The second phase of the study was a longitudinal investigation of the development of left ventricular hypertrophy, changes in left ventricular function and retinal vascular disease, and the temporal relationship of these complications to the risk factors found in the first phase, using a cohort design.
The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005180, which also lists 14 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2016.
