U.S., Feb. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06842784) titled 'Impact of Extreme Heat on Myocardial Blood Flow and Flow Reserve in Young and Older Adults' on Feb. 18.
Brief Summary: Extreme heat causes a disproportionate number of hospitalizations and deaths in older adults relative to any other age group. Importantly, many hospitalizations and deaths are primarily due to cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction. Previous data indicate that older adults have attenuated skin blood flow and sweating responses when exposed to heat, resulting greater increase in core body temperature. Despite these observations, relatively little is known about the risk for myocardial ischemia potentiall...
