First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is checking whether people newly diagnosed with high blood pressure who also have high homocysteine levels are more likely to have early signs of heart stiffness. Researchers will measure homocysteine in blood and use ultrasound to look at heart function in 500 adults. The goal is to see if this blood test can help spot heart risk earlier.
