- Age: Are 18 years of age or older
Around 30% of adults in England have high blood pressure, making it one of the most common long-term health conditions. Many people do not even know they have it because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. That is why your participation in clinical research trials is so important.

What is Hypertension?
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, happens when the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high. Over time, this extra pressure can put strain on your heart and blood vessels, which can lead to serious health problems.
High blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms, which is why it is sometimes called the “silent killer.” However, if left untreated, it can increase your risk of:
- Heart disease
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Kidney problems
- Vision problems
High blood pressure affects nearly one in three adults in the UK. Despite how common it is, many people live with uncontrolled high blood pressure without knowing it. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure but your current treatment is not working well enough, you may also be interested in our atrial fibrillation clinical trials, as both conditions affect heart health and often occur together.
