New Clinical Trial: Reduction in Splanchnic Capacitance Contributes to Sympathetically Dependent Hypertension in Autonomic (NCT02726711)
Researchers at Vanderbilt University are studying how the nervous system controls blood vessels in the abdomen and how this might cause high blood pressure in people with certain rare nervous system disorders. The study focuses on three conditions where the nervous system doesn't work properly: Multiple System Atrophy, Orthostatic Hypotension, and Supine Hypertension. By understanding this connection, doctors may find new ways to treat high blood pressure in these patients.
WHY IT MATTERSThis trial directly addresses a poorly understood cause of high blood pressure in patients with Multiple System Atrophy and related autonomic nervous system disorders, potentially leading to better treatment options for this hard-to-manage symptom.
