NCT03956823
Hypertension is closely related to metabolic abnormalities such as obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes. When hypertension is complicated with metabolic abnormalities, target organ damage is more serious, the risk of cardiovascular adverse events is greater, and the treatment is more complex. The pathophysiological mechanism of obesity-associated hypertension has its particularity. Blood pressure control and effective control of obesity are important therapeutic targets. At present, there are no guidelines for the treatment of obesity-associated hypertension. Although several drugs have certain effects on fat metabolism, they have little effect on blood pressure and have some side effects in long-term use. Among the existing antihypertensive drugs, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT-1) antagonists have shown their particularity in improving glycolipid metabolism, but strict clinical trials are needed to confirm their effectiveness in weight loss and metabolism improvement. Previous studies have shown that obese patients with hypertension have severe insulin resistance, poor glycolipid metabolism and are prone to cardiovascular damage. Telmisartan can block AT-1 receptor and partially activate PPAR-γ, increase the expression of PPAR-γ target gene in preadipocytes, improve the function of visceral adipose tissue, and effectively prevent obesity-related cardiovascular diseases. It is presumed that telmisartan can act as a PPAR-γ agonist in clinic by altering the metabolic components and insulin sensitivity, but there is no clinical evidence for this. On the basis of previous studies, this study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of telmisartan or amlodipine in controlling blood pressure, reducing fat accumulation, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing cardiac remodeling in obese patients with hypertension by prospective cohort study.
NCT04030494
The proposed clinical study aims to validate the effectiveness of the WPM04 blood pressure monitor developed by Withings as a diagnostic tool for cardiovascular disorders. The detection of cardiovascular disorders is oriented along three axes, namely the measurement of blood pressure, the identification of rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation and the identification of heart murmur indicating valvular heart disease.
