NCT ID NCT06747000

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how lipoproteins—tiny particles that carry cholesterol in the blood—work in healthy people and those with lipid disorders like high cholesterol. The goal is to understand how these particles affect heart and blood vessel health, especially when they don't function properly. Researchers will measure blood clotting and platelet activity in 80 adults aged 18 to 69 to find new ways to prevent and treat heart disease.
