NCT ID NCT03762499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) to regular check-ups helps doctors better manage high blood pressure in young adults aged 18 to 40. Researchers will collect data from 750 participants during their routine clinic visits and follow them for up to 10 years. The goal is to find patterns that improve risk assessment and treatment, without changing the care patients normally receive.
