Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American teens without a prior hypertension diagnosis, no history of organ transplant, not on stimulants or blood pressure meds, and no congenital heart disease. It aims to find better ways to diagnose high blood pressure in this group.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares home blood pressure monitoring with the gold standard 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) to see which is more effective at diagnosing high blood pressure in African American teens.See study design
