Heart pills vs. bushfire smoke: scientists test protection for healthy adults
NCT ID NCT07462715
Summary
This study aims to find out if common cholesterol-lowering statin pills can protect the heart and brain from the harmful effects of breathing bushfire smoke. Researchers will expose 100 healthy adults to controlled, diluted bushfire smoke and clean air in a special lab, comparing those taking statins (either short-term or long-term) to those not taking them. They will measure heart function, blood markers, and thinking skills to see if the medication offers any shield against smoke-induced stress.
