Trial summary

One interesting area is the relationship of high salt intake and central aortic blood pressure. High salt intake is associated development of hypertension and cardiovascular mortality. Central aortic pressure is better correlated with cardiovascular events and mortality. Read more about this study

About this study

One interesting area is the relationship of high salt intake and central aortic blood pressure. High salt intake is associated development of hypertension and cardiovascular mortality. Central aortic pressure is better correlated with cardiovascular events and mortality. With recent advances in technology, it is possible to measure central aortic pressure noninvasively and easily. Until now there is no study to evaluate the relationship of high salt intake and aortic blood pressure.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the relationship of high salt intake and aortic blood pressure and aortic stiffness.

Subjects with or without hypertension will be enrolled for investigation. Subjects with hypertension should be never treated with antihypertensive medications. Subjects with secondary hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, high grade kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, and major arrhythmia will be excluded.

Sodium intake is measured by 24 hour urinary sodium excretion, with the measurement of peripheral and central aortic blood pressure, and aortic pulse wave velocity.

Salt sensitive hypertension related single nucleotide polymorphism will be analyzed to define the relationship with high salt intake and aortic pressure and pulse wave velocity.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
normotensive subjectssubjects without hypertension, and without diabetes, ischemic heart disease, major arrhythmia, heart failure, secondary hypertension, high grade renal disease,
Hypertensive subjectssubjects with hypertension, 1. currently not treated at least within 6 months 2. without diabetes, ischemic heart disease, major arrhythmia, heart failure, secondary hypertension, high grade renal disease,

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the relationship between 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure and 24 hour urine sodium/potassium excretion

    the relationship between 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure and 24 hour urine sodium/potassium excretion will be analysed. daytime, nighttime and morning BP will be analysed to 24 hour urinary sodium/potassium excretion

    Measured: cross-sectional study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the relationship between 24 hour urinary sodium/potassium excretion and central BP and arterial stiffness

    Measured: Cross-sectional study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by DongGuk University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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 23 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the relationship between 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure and 24 hour urine sodium/potassium excretion (time frame: cross-sectional study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Jan 2013.
