ICU artery study pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT03621618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to measure how stiff the arteries are in intensive care patients receiving drugs to support their heart or blood pressure. The goal was to see if a simple monitor reading could help doctors adjust treatment. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are available.
