Blood Pressure Study

[Scrit1]

Has anyone taken part in Blood Pressure Study held at St Barts Hospital.If so do you recommend

[Hidden]

I would recommend getting involved with clinical research. The doctors and staff at Barts are great. I was part of the ASCOT study many years ago and had great treatment that vastly improved my BP. I have also been part of a cardiac study that reassured me about my own cardiovascular health. They also have a Public and Patients Advisory Group that advises on the research done at Bart’s.

I took part in the study went for 3 appointments then got a phone call telling me that my BP was too high and that I didn't meet their criteria. Not sure I would bother again the travelling was horrendous . I didn't think my readings were that high either.So I am now questioning whether they pick people to suit their studies ,which in my view is a bit of a con.
