High blood pressure (hypertension) occurs when the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. Over time, this can increase the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. While many medications are available, some individuals continue to have difficulty controlling their blood pressure even with ongoing treatment.
Adults 18–65 with a history of high blood pressure that remains elevated despite treatment may qualify for a study evaluating an investigational medication designed to help lower blood pressure.
