What this study is about
Researchers are testing a new way to measure how stiff your arteries are. The trial will look at how different blood pressure treatments affect this stiffness, considering individual genetic factors. The goal is to personalize blood pressure care for older adults in the VA system.
Simplified from trial records by PatientMatch.
