Hidden danger: exercise may damage organs in coarctation survivors
NCT ID NCT07134621
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 50 adults who had surgery for coarctation of the aorta (a narrowed main artery). Researchers want to see if exercise-induced high blood pressure causes hidden damage to the heart, arteries, or kidneys. Participants will do a stress test, heart ultrasound, and blood/urine tests. The goal is to better understand long-term risks in this group.
