Gene clue could lead to surgical cure for some high blood pressure patients
NCT ID NCT07181213
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a specific genetic change found in some people with high blood pressure. Researchers want to see if this change is linked to a condition called primary aldosteronism, which can sometimes be cured with surgery. About 76 men from a larger Swedish health study who have the gene variant and high blood pressure will be invited to take part.
