Investigation of Dietary Nitrate Effects in Hypertension-induced Target Organ Damage

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2017
This study aims to determine whether dietary inorganic nitrate (in beetroot juice) is able to reduce overall thickening of the heart (left ventricular hypertrophy or LVH) and stiffness of the arteries when given to patients with persistently raised blood pressure (hypertension). Half the patients will receive the beetroot juice containing inorganic nitrate and half will receive beetroot juice from which the inorganic nitrate has been removed. The volunteers will take the juice every day for 4 months.
