AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE PATTERNS AMONG PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV IN RAKAI, UGANDA.
REFNo: HS3209ES
Overall objective
The overall aim of this research project is to characterize ambulatory blood pressure, understand risks for non-dipping patterns, for early detection to improve cardiovascular outcomes among people living with HIV.
Specific Objectives
• To characterize ambulatory blood pressure patterns of participants 35+ years enrolled in the RCCS.
• To determine the prevalence of CVD risk factors by blood pressure dipping patterns among participants 35+ years enrolled in this cohort?
• To determine factors associated with non-dipping patterns among people living with HIV.
• To assess if participants with non-dipping blood pressure patterns exhibit greater burden of arterial stiffness.
• To evaluate the association between non-dipping blood pressure patterns and biomarkers of vascular endothelial cell activation.
