Do you or someone you know have High Blood Pressure?
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for people with High Blood Pressure. This study is looking for volunteers 18 years old and older with high blood pressure.
At the screening visit, you will be asked to read and sign an Informed Consent document. Lab tests, a study related physical exam and an EKG will also be done.
Participants who meet requirement for entrance into the study will receive at no charge:

What are Clinical Trials? |
| They are research studies that answer specific questions about vaccines, new therapies or new ways of using known treatments. Clinical trials are used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work. |
Why participate in clinical trials? |
| Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. |
What is High Blood Pressure? |
| Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is at rest (diastolic pressure). It's measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). High blood pressure (or hypertension) is defined in an adult as a blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure or greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure. |
What Causes High Blood Pressure? |
| The causes of high blood pressure vary. Causes may include greater than normal volume of blood, narrowing of the arteries, or the heart simply beating faster than it should. Any of these conditions will cause an increase in blood pressure. Most of the time, the cause of high blood pressure is not known. Eventhough high blood pressure usually cannot be cured, it can be prevented and controlled. Our clinical trials help come up with new methods and medications to treat high blood pressure. |
What Is Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure? |
| The blood pressure reading is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and is written as systolic pressure, the force of the blood against the artery walls as your heart beats, over diastolic pressure, the blood pressure between heartbeats. For example, a blood pressure reading is written as 120/80 mm Hg, or "120 over 80". The systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 80. |
