Statins vs. smoke: can a pill protect your heart and brain?
NCT ID NCT07462715
First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether taking statins (a common cholesterol drug) can protect the heart and brain from the harmful effects of breathing bushfire smoke. Healthy adults aged 18-64 will be exposed to simulated smoke in a controlled setting, with some taking statins short-term (2 days) or long-term (12+ months). Researchers will measure changes in heart rate, blood pressure, inflammation, and thinking skills to see if statins offer any protection.
