Air purifier use to slow heart artery plaque in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using indoor air filtration at home can slow the progression of heart artery plaque-related problems in people with a past history of ischemic heart disease. It may help by improving indoor air quality, which the study links to inflammation in the body.
