NCT ID NCT07641413
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to establish normal reference values for heart and lung function in healthy adults aged 24-68. Researchers will perform breathing tests, exercise tests, and heart ultrasounds on 200 participants without known lung or heart disease. The results will serve as a comparison for veterans who may have been exposed to airborne hazards during military service.
