Official title
Neurovascular Effects of Empagliflozin in Mid-Life and Older Adults With Prehypertension
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine whether empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, improves vascular and autonomic function in adults with prehypertension. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: 1. Does empagliflozin improve endothelial function? 2. Does empagliflozin improve sympathetic nervous system function? This clinical trial employs a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study lasting up to 6 weeks for participants with prehypertension and up to 2 weeks for normotensive participants. Participants with prehypertension will take empagliflozin or placebo for 2 weeks, separated by a 2-week washout. Normotensive participants will complete baseline, pre-treatment visits only and will serve as a control group.
