NCT04121299

Brief Summary

To test the hypothesis that sympatholytic antihypertensive antihypertensive therapy (αβ-blocker - carvedilol) will reduce out-of-clinic ambulatory BP to a greater extent by blocking sympathetic activity than non-sympatholytic antihypertensive medication (dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker - amlodipine) in individuals with masked hypertension.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Will adhere to the NIH Data Sharing and Implementation policy: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/data\_sharing/data\_sharing\_guidance.htm Data Sharing: Unpublished research data will be presented at scientific meetings. These regularly include American Heart Association Council on Hypertension Scientific Sessions and Southern Society of Clinical Investigators-southern regional meeting. Moreover, unpublished data, including methodologies and datasets will be uploaded to RedCap with access granted to mentor, co-mentors and members of mentoring committee. All data acquired will be shared and made publicly available through publication in the peer-reviewed literature.

Time Frame
Research data will be shared with non-participating investigators once the data are accepted for publication.
Access Criteria
All accepted manuscripts will be submitted electronically to PubMed Central (PMC) via the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system according to journal policy and NIH agreements. Through the Freedom of Information Act, the data in the publications and the raw data documents will be made available upon written request.
