Summary
This study explores whether a simple, non-invasive test called passive leg movement can measure blood vessel health in older adults. Researchers will use ultrasound to see how blood flow changes when a person's leg is moved without their effort. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors assess heart disease risk and guide rehabilitation. The study involves 130 participants, including healthy young adults and older patients undergoing heart testing.
