High blood pressure (BP) or hypertension (HTN) affects over 100 million individuals in the US, increasing the risk of adverse outcomes, including stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Effective therapies include non-pharmacologic approaches and multiple medication classes. Successful HTN management requires ongoing patient engagement for BP monitoring and treatment intensification. Reaching this goal is challenging, and many patients with HTN do not have controlled BP. Using a…
Durable left ventricular assist devices (dLVAD) have been increasingly utilized since the mid to late 1990s, with an uptick of utility starting in 2010 following expanded indications for therapy to not only include a bridge to transplantation strategy, but also for those individuals who suffer from advanced heart failure (HF) and do not qualify for cardiac transplantation. Despite the decreasing size of the newest generation devices leading to a lessened occurrence of adverse events, bleeding and infection still…

Arterial Stiffness and Blood Pressure
RecruitingHypertension is a common and treatable disorder that remains the leading preventable cause of heart disease. Blood pressure treatment relies mainly on upper arm blood pressure readings and ignores blood vessel physiology and underlying individual genetic information. Older Veterans with hypertension are less likely to be treated to goal blood pressure because there are conflicting recommendations for what constitutes "optimal" in older adults. The investigators have developed a novel way to non-invasively assess…

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the medication eplerenone yields greater improvements in coronary microvascular function than chlorthalidone in women who experienced preeclampsia during pregnancy and subsequently developed chronic hypertension. The main Aims are: * To test the hypothesis that, in women with prior preeclampsia, current chronic hypertension, and concentric LV remodeling, eplerenone improves coronary microvascular function vs. chlorthalidone. * To test the hypothesis that, in…
Nearly half of adults in the United States (47 percent, or 116 million) have hypertension, also known as high blood pressure (BP). Uncontrolled high BP can be devasting as it can lead to stroke, heart attack and kidney failure, as well as other numerous health conditions. Hypertension can be controlled; however, only one in four of adults with hypertension have their BP controlled. The chance of having high BP increases as one ages, requiring the need to examine effective hypertension strategies in older adults…

Kidney failure has been recognized as one of the most costly chronic conditions among United States Veterans. Approximately 13,000 Veterans develop kidney failure each year, and most require hemodialysis initiation. Hemodialysis patients suffer significantly increased risk of death and hospitalizations, and excessive body fluid is a major cause of this. While empiric aggressive fluid removal during dialysis is one approach to limit fluid overload, this can cause dangerous decreases in blood pressure during…
