A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between blood pressure variability and frailty in individuals aged 75 and older diagnosed with hypertension. It will utilize ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to identify hypotensive episodes and assess their association with adverse health outcomes such as hospitalization and cardiovascular events. Additionally, the study will explore how home blood pressure variability correlates with frailty and the prevalence of hypotensive phenotypes among frail hypertensive patients. The study is conducted at a single center and involves diagnostic tests and questionnaires.
