What this trial studies
This research aims to assess the Subendocardial Viability Ratio (SEVR) in patients with hypertension using non-invasive arterial tonometry. The study will measure the SEVR by analyzing the central pressure wave morphology and correlating it with various anthropometric and pathology variables. By understanding the SEVR, the study seeks to identify factors that may predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in individuals with high blood pressure. Participants will be recruited from specialized Arterial Hypertension Centers.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with hypertension.
Not a fit: Patients with atrial fibrillation will not benefit from this study due to exclusion criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help predict cardiovascular risks in hypertensive patients, leading to better management and treatment strategies.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored similar methodologies in assessing cardiovascular health in hypertensive patients, indicating potential for success.
