NCT ID NCT04522765
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at how blood pressure and artery stiffness change between day and night in 120 people at increased risk for heart disease, including those with kidney problems. Participants wear a device that measures these values over 24 hours and provide blood and urine samples. The goal is to understand why some people lack a natural nighttime blood pressure dip, which is linked to higher heart risk, and to guide future treatment strategies.
