Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a risk factor for mild deterioration in mental abilities and brain damage. The state of the brain structure can be assessed using a special form of MRI known as diffusion tensor imaging and blood flow in the brain can be assessed using functional MRI.
This study aims to identify the effect on brain structure and bloodflow of anti-hypertensive medication in hypertensive patients and healthy volunteers.
Who can participate?
Patients aged 40 - 59 years with hypertension-mediated organ damage can participate in the hypertension group. People aged 40 - 59 years who do not have hypertension will be included in the control group.
What does the study involve?
Participants will visit the test centre for MRI scanning and then be asked to wear a blood pressure monitor at home for 24 hours. Hypertensive patients will then be provided with blood pressure lowering medication to take once daily. Patients will have their blood pressure checked after two and four weeks to see if the medication is having any effect. After 12 weeks the assessments will be repeated.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Possible benifits of participating: additional diagnostic methods used in the present study can help your physician to improve and personalise your treatment strategy.
Possible risks of participating: all procedures are non-invasive, but require additional time. Patients recieving antihypertensive medications may expirience side-effects of the drug.
Where is the study run from?

Scientific title | Observational study to assess cognitive functions, white matter hyperintensities, cerebral blood flow and fractional anisotropy in treatment-naive middle-aged hypertensive patients compared to normotensive controls and to assess the impact of 12-weeks single pill Perindopril/Indapamide treatment on those domains to improve personalized antihypertensive therapy |
Study objectives | 1. Treatment-naive middle-aged hypertensive patients have worse executive functions, more white matter hyperintensities, lower cerebral blood flow and fractional anisotropy compared to normotensive controls 2. 12-weeks single pill Perindopril/Indapamide treatment improves blood pressure level, cognitive status and potentially has an impact on cerebral blood flow and fractional anisotropy |
Ethics approval(s) | Approved 14/12/2016, Ethics committee of I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (8-2 Trubetskaya st., Moscow, 119991, Russia; +7 495 609-14-00; iec@sechenov.ru), ref: 11-16 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Arterial hypertension |
Intervention | All participants undergo a baseline assessment as follows: 1. Neuropsychological assessment (MoCA, verbal fluency test, TMT (parts A and B), 10-words list learning task, Stroop Color and Word Test) 2. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (BPLab monitoring system BP2005-01.04.00.2540, “Petr Telegin”, Russia): following SBP, DBP and pulse pressure (PP) data were provided: 24-h mean values and variability, daytime (07:00–23:00) mean values and variability, night time (23:00–07:00) mean values and variability 3. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MAGNETOM Skyra 3.0 T, Siemens AG, Germany): T1, MPRAGE, T2 FLAIR, PASL, TOF 2D, DTI to evaluate white matter hyperintensities (Fazekas scale), cerebral blood flow in the cortical plates of frontal lobes and fractional anisotropy in 28 regions of interest Non-hypertensive patients end participation at this point. Hypertensive patients are prescribed with perindopril (5 mg) / indapamide (1.25 mg) single-pill combination, given once daily in the morning. If after 2 weeks of treatment office BP level is >140/90 mm Hg, Perindopril/Indapamide will be up-titrated to Perindopril (10 mg) / Indapamide (2.5 mg). If after 2 weeks of treatment the patient’s office BP level is still >140/90 mm Hg, the patient is excluded from the study. The follow-up period after reaching the target BP level was 12 weeks. At follow-up the assessments are repeated. |
