Clinical Trial: Vascular Function in Adults With Down Syndrome

U.S., June 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07630207) titled 'Vascular Function in Adults With Down Syndrome' on June 01.

However, recent research suggests that heart and blood vessel diseases, including stroke, are becoming a more common cause of death in adults with Ds as life expectancy increases.
