Trial summary

A new study have shown that high night time blood pressure (BP) and/or non-dipping (lack of fall in BP during night time) is a strong predictor for the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with hypertension. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Nocturnal Blood Pressure in Hypertension, Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Healthy Subjects - Central and Peripheral 24-h Blood Pressure

A new study have shown that high night time blood pressure (BP) and/or non-dipping (lack of fall in BP during night time) is a strong predictor for the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with hypertension. Three factors seem to affect the night time BP: chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the way ambulatory blood pressure is monitored.

Hypothesis:

Read more

Central 24-h blood pressure monitoring is a better way of monitoring blood pressure than conventional peripheral monitoring.

In hypertension, chronic kidney disease and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) the night time blood pressure is elevated, and is OSA the elevation is correlated to the severity of OSA.

In OSA the kidneys handling of salt and water is disturbed. In OSA there is disturbances in hormonal balance.

Read the detailed description

75 patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD I-II) and 75 healthy subjects is examined with both central and peripheral 24 hours blood pressure monitoring, 1 night home polygraphy to determine whether the subject has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and if so the degree (apnea hypopnea index, AHI), blood and urine samples to determine levels of urine aquaporine2 (u-AQP2), urine endothelial sodium channel (u-EnaC), plasma renin concentration (PRC), plasma angiotensin II (p-AngII), plasma aldosterone (p-aldosterone), plasma vasopressin (p-AVP) and plasma endothelin (p-endothelin).

Hypothesis:

Central 24-h BP monitoring provides another measure of daily fluctuations in blood pressure than peripheral 24-h BP monitoring, because this measurement is painless and does not interfere with activities in the daytime or night-time sleep.

In hypertension, chronic kidney disease and OSA the decease in nocturnal BP is lower than i healthy subjects.

In OSA the decrease in the nocturnal BP is inversely correlated with the severity of OSA.

In OSA is the renal tubular absorption of water and sodium abnormal with increased tubular absorption of water with AQP2 and of sodium by ENAC.

In OSA, there is increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, increased endothelin in plasma and increased vasopressin in plasma.

What is being measured

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

  1. decrease in central systolic blood pressure at night

    The difference in the decrease in systolic BP at night by peripheral 24-h BP between patients with hypertension and healthy subjects.

    Measured: < 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. decrease in central systolic blood pressure at night

    The difference in the decrease in systolic BP at night by the central 24-h BP between patients with hypertension and healthy subjects.

    Measured: < 24 hours

  2. difference i blood pressure levels throughout the day

    The difference in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure throughout the day, in the daytime and in nighttime between peripheral 24-h and central 24-h monitoring in both patients and healthy.

    Measured: < 24 hours

  3. The correlation between the decrease in nighttime BP on one side and severity of OSA and BP in the daytime on the other.

    The correlation between the decrease in nighttime BP on one side and severity of OSA and BP in the daytime on the other.

    Measured: < 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension and Chronic Kidneys Disease, run by Erling Bjerregaard Pedersen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 8 inclusion and 24 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2014. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

decrease in central systolic blood pressure at night (time frame: < 24 hours). 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 9 Oct 2014.
