About this study

To identify the role of salt-sensitivity of blood pressure in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Read the detailed description

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

Approximately 498 of 750 normal and hypertensive subjects who were carefully characterized in terms of blood pressure response to salt loading and depletion in the late 1970s were re-examined to identify physiological factors contributing to salt-sensitivity of blood pressure. This helped to confirm preliminary observations suggesting that salt sensitivity in normotensive subjects predicted the subsequent development of hypertension with aging. In addition, longitudinal observations in hypertensive patients and in normotensives helped to determine whether salt-sensitivity or salt-resistance of blood pressure were associated with differences in the risk for development of specific forms of cardiovascular disease (stroke, angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure), renal and metabolic (diabetes mellitus) disorders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Diseases, run by Indiana University.

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 30 Dec 2015. 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 NCT00005489, which also lists 5 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 30 Dec 2015.
