Walking away from stroke risk: home exercise targets silent artery threat
NCT ID NCT04053166
Summary
This study tested whether a personalized, home-based walking program could make dangerous plaque in the neck arteries more stable and less likely to cause a stroke. It involved 56 adults with significant carotid artery narrowing but no stroke symptoms. Participants used activity trackers and aimed to increase their daily steps over 6 months, while researchers used MRI scans and blood tests to measure changes in plaque vulnerability.
