NCT ID NCT02966665
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how blood vessels control blood flow in healthy people and those with conditions like COPD, heart failure, and high blood pressure. Researchers will measure changes in blood flow and blood pressure after exercise and other tests. The goal is to understand why blood vessels don't work as well with age and disease, which could lead to better treatments.
