Study of blood vessel health in children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study examines the health of blood vessels in children ages 6 to 17, using a non-invasive device called Vicorder to measure vessel stiffness. It aims to understand how blood vessel walls work in youth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 6 and 17 years old
- Be seen in the emergency department or admitted to the pediatric emergency unit
- Be able to stay calm and cooperate during a quick, painless exam with a blood pressure cuff
- Have a parent or guardian sign a permission form
- Not have severe behavioral or mental health issues that would make the exam hard
- Not have an injury, surgery, or device (like a pacemaker) where the cuff would go

This trial aims to learn more about blood clots, inflammation, and blood vessel problems. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they affect people.
This study checks if tiny blood vessel problems in the heart affect how well the heart muscle recovers after being weak. It uses special imaging during a routine heart catheterization to look at these small vessels.
This study looks at a possible link between the size of a large vein (the inferior vena cava) and the pressure in the right side of the heart in children. If the link is strong, doctors might one day use vein size to estimate heart pressure without more invasive tests.
This study uses ultrasound (sound waves) to take pictures of the heart and the main neck arteries in healthy children across Italy. It helps doctors learn what normal measurements look like for different ages.
This study looks at healthy adults and how their blood vessels work. It may help researchers understand normal circulation so they can better compare changes in future conditions.
This study looks at how blood vessels and blood pressure change in children soon after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It may help doctors better understand early vascular risk and how to monitor it.
