What this trial studies

HyperEcho is a multi-centre observational study aimed at improving the management of hypertension in young adults aged 18 to 40 years. The study investigates whether baseline transthoracic echocardiography, combined with routine clinical data, can enhance risk stratification for cardiovascular disease. Participants will undergo a research echocardiography scan during their routine hypertension clinic visits, and their clinical data will be utilized to inform better management strategies. The study is designed to ensure that participation does not interfere with the clinical care of the participants.
