This study is to evaluate whether the study medication can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, heart failure and/or cardiac death, and to find out what effects the new medication has on people, as an add-on to current medications.
Participation in this study is expected to last for 2 – 5 years depending upon when the study is joined. There will be 10 – 14 visits to the study clinic during this period.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) is persistently high blood pressure that often has no symptoms but gradually damages blood vessels and organs over time. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), commonly referred to as Heart Disease, covers conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. High Blood Pressure is one of the biggest risk factors for CVD, as sustained high pressure accelerates artery damage and narrowing (atherosclerosis), increasing the risk of clots, heart attack, and stroke. Managing blood pressure through lifestyle changes and medication is a key way to reduce CVD risk.
