The African-PREDICT Study
African Prospective Study for the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension (African-PREDICT Study)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Apr 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The African-PREDICT study aims to (i) generate new knowledge on the early pathophysiology accompanying hypertension development in black South Africans; and (ii) to identify early novel markers or predictors for the development of hypertension and cardiovascular outcome. By employing also in Africa the latest cutting-edge scientific technologies to measure single and multiple biomarkers proven to predict hypertension and cardiovascular outcome (such as multiplex analyses, proteomics and metabolomics), precision medicine may have the potential to lead to novel strategies in preventing and treating hypertension in Africa.
