NCT ID NCT04522765
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how blood pressure and artery stiffness change over 24 hours in people at increased risk for heart disease, especially those with kidney problems. Researchers will monitor 120 participants using a wearable device and collect blood and urine samples. The goal is to understand why some people's blood pressure doesn't drop enough at night, which is linked to higher heart risk, and to guide better timing of medication.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better tailor when to give blood pressure medication to reduce heart disease risk.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new drug or therapy, so benefits are indirect and long-term.
