Summary
This is a protocol to obtain pilot data to submit a new NIH grant on Nocturnal Hypertension
and Nocturia. In the diversity supplement to Dr. Victor's current NIH grant (Cut Your
Pressure Too: The Los Angeles Barbershop Blood Pressure Study) the results show that
uncontrolled systolic hypertension is an independent determinant of nocturia in African
American men.
the investigators now want to pursue this correlation by designing a new NIH grant proposal
to determine whether replacing short acting with long acting drugs and dosing them at bedtime
rather than in the morning will: A. Lower systolic blood pressure during sleep B. Improve
nocturia and result in better sleep quality
