Scientists track lifelong impact of rigid arteries on heart and brain
NCT ID NCT02840448
Summary
This long-term study aims to understand how having less elastic, stiffer blood vessels from birth affects different organs in people with Williams Syndrome or a related heart condition called SVAS. Researchers will observe up to 159 children and adults for up to 10 years, using scans and tests to see how the heart, brain, kidneys, and gut are impacted. The goal is to gather knowledge to help manage health risks, not to test a new treatment.
