Silent artery disease linked to brain decline? major study launches
NCT ID NCT07520643
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
The MISTIC study will examine 1000 adults to see if early, symptom-free artery disease is linked to thinking and memory problems. Participants will get non-invasive imaging of their arteries and cognitive tests. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, aiming to improve early detection of vascular and brain health issues.
