Study how COVID-19 affects blood vessel stiffness and aging
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how having COVID-19 may affect your blood vessels over the following months. It may help doctors understand long-term “vascular aging” and who is most at risk, based on how sick you were during your COVID illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old
- You must be able to sign consent (or have someone able to consent for you)
- Your COVID-19 diagnosis should have happened about 3 to 9 months ago (tests can be PCR or blood tests/serology)
- Your COVID care type should fit one of these groups: ICU stay, hospital stay in general medicine, no hospital stay (or stayed less than 24 hours), or a negative COVID test to enter the non-COVID group
- You should not have a serious illness expected to shorten life to less than 1 year
- You should be able to come to scheduled study visits

This study examines how blood pressure patterns over 24 hours relate to artery stiffness and metabolic health markers like blood sugar and triglycerides. Understanding these connections may help doctors better predict heart disease risk.
This study looks at markers of artery aging in people already taking part in the Paris Prospective Study III. It may help understand how arteries change with age.
This study measures how your blood pressure changes across the day in people at higher risk of heart and blood vessel disease. It may help researchers understand why blood pressure patterns vary, which could guide better prevention or care.
This study looks at how childhood stress might affect blood vessels and aging in young adults. It tests if a certain protein (SIRT1) is linked to early blood vessel aging.
This study looks at how stiff arteries are and how well blood vessels work in people with heart failure. It aims to understand these changes better to improve future care.
This study looks at how artery stiffness changes with age in healthy people. You will wear a special T-shirt that measures your pulse, and results may help doctors better understand blood vessel health.
