How artery stiffness changes with age in healthy volunteers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or similar cardiovascular event in the past 2 years.
- You do not have a long-term heart or blood vessel condition (like heart failure or coronary artery disease).
- Your body size is compatible with wearing a special T-shirt that measures blood flow (plethysmography T-shirt).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in a situation where you cannot freely consent (e.g., under guardianship or in prison).
- You have signed a consent form and are covered by health insurance (social security).

This study looks at how exercise changes blood vessels differently in older women and men. You'll be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or a no-exercise control group for a few months, and researchers will measure your blood vessel health before and after.
This study tests whether more intensive blood pressure lowering can improve artery health in older Veterans. You would be randomly assigned to standard or tighter blood pressure control and get free study-related care and monitoring.
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 research study examines how blood vessels age and work in older people who are generally healthy. Understanding these changes may help doctors better prevent heart and stroke problems in the future.
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.
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.
