NCT04838678

Phase 0 Recruiting 100 enrolled University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Non-randomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelBasic science

Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how the nervous system communicates to blood vessels to increase blood pressure during stress. The study will also investigate how hypertension and obesity influence the nervous system and vascular function. The study will involve measuring sympathetic nervous system activity and blood flow during common laboratory physiological stress protocols (e.g. hypoxia, exercise), and in response to infusion of drugs that cause vasodilation or vasoconstriction.
