High-intensity exercise for inherited high cholesterol
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a program of high-intensity interval training can help people with familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol). It aims to see if exercise can improve cholesterol levels and heart health.
