Conditions

Summary

Observational prospective single-center, non-profit study. Primary objective of the study: To determine if the hypotensive phenotype, defined as one episode of daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) \<90 mmHg (or two episodes of daytime SBP \<90 mmHg, if mean 24 h SBP is \<125 mmHg) detected at Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is associated with adverse events at follow up (death, hospitalization, falls, emergency room admission for uncontrolled hypertension, major cardiovascular events)

Eligibility

Min Age: 75 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study examines how variations in blood pressure over time (blood pressure variability) are related to frailty in older adults with high blood pressure (hypertension). **You may be eligible if...** - You are 75 years of age or older - You have been diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure) according to European cardiology guidelines - You (or your legal representative) are willing to consent to participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You (or your legal representative) decline to participate - You have a life expectancy of less than 6 months Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
