Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Systolic Blood Pressure
During each visit, SBP will be measured after 5 min in a seated position in a comfortable room by the physician. The measurement will be taken in duplicate at 1-min intervals using an automatic sphygmomanometer (OMRON HEM-907; Peroxfarma, Barcelona, Spain), and the average of the two measurements will be calculated.
Every 2 weeks for a total of 12 weeks.
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Every 2 weeks for a total of 12 weeks.
Ischemic reactive hyperemia (IRH)
Every 4 weeks for a total of 12 weeks
Platelet aggregation
Every 4 weeks for a total of 12 weeks
Homocysteine
Every 4 weeks for a total of 12 weeks
C-reactive protein (inflammatory marker)
Every 4 weeks for a total of 12 weeks
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Other Outcomes (2)
Transcriptomics
At week 0 (V1) and 12 week (V7).
Non-targeted Metabolomics
At week 0 (V1) and 12 week (V7).
