Study on alcohol reduction to improve heart health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether reducing alcohol intake can help lower blood pressure and reduce heart risks in adults who drink above recommended limits. Participants will receive support to cut back on drinking and will be monitored for changes in blood pressure and heart health.
