Gut trouble linked to hardened arteries? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05781737
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 115 people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to see if their condition raises the risk of atherosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Researchers measured artery stiffness and thickness, and tracked hospitalizations and deaths from heart disease. The goal was to understand whether IBD itself contributes to heart problems, which could help guide future prevention efforts.
