Could a common pill reverse stiffening of aging arteries?
NCT ID NCT06506422
Summary
This study is testing if a medication called empagliflozin, usually used for diabetes, can make stiff arteries more flexible in healthy older adults. It will involve 80 men and women aged 60-80 who already have some artery stiffening but do not have diabetes. Participants will take the drug or a placebo pill daily for 12 weeks to see if it improves a key measure of artery health.
