U.S., Feb. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07427745) titled 'SMOKING AND PRESENCE OF FRANK'S SIGN' on Feb. 09.
Brief Summary: In this study, the effect of cigarette smoking-one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases-on the development of Frank's sign (DELC) was investigated. Rather than smoking status alone, cumulative smoking exposure was considered to cause vascular damage and thereby influence the formation of DELC. Consequently, these findings may enable family physicians and other clinicians to approach patients rapidly and non-invasively within the framework of preventive medicine.
