Blow into this tube: a new breath test may spot high cholesterol early
NCT ID NCT07546162
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to screen for high cholesterol using a person's breath. Researchers will collect exhaled breath samples from 280 healthy adults and those with high cholesterol. They will analyze the breath for unique chemical patterns to see if the test can accurately identify people with abnormal blood lipids. If successful, this could lead to a simple, fast, and painless screening method for high cholesterol.
