Targeted LOWering of Central Blood Pressure in patients with hypertension: Baseline recruitment, rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial (The LOW CBP study)

Compared with control, intervention is expected to significantly lower left ventricular mass index, and this effect is expected to be independently correlated with central BP lowering. These findings would support the concept of central BP as an important therapeutic target in hypertension management. Results are expected in 2018.
