Many with Hypertension often have no symptoms, but it’s still doing damage to the body. Left untreated or uncontrolled, it can damage blood vessels and cause a Stroke or Heart Attack.
What many don’t realize, too, is that poor vascular (blood vessel) health in middle-age is a risk factor for dementia later in life. This is because it lessens the amount of oxygen that flows to the brain due to damaged heart valves.
Though approved blood pressure drugs exist, many struggle to take their daily meds, so it may not work well. Still others need more than one medication—or are untreated and need to start on one! For these reasons, volunteers are needed for research studies assessing investigational medications for HBP—some of which may require very infrequent dosing.
