Evaluating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular control in healthy individuals

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess autonomic function and cerebrovascular control in 60 healthy subjects through noninvasive analysis of time series variability. Participants will undergo an orthostatic challenge while their heart period, blood pressure, cerebral blood velocity, and peripheral resistances are recorded. Advanced signal processing techniques will be utilized to evaluate the interactions between autonomic cardiovascular function and cerebrovascular control. The study focuses on understanding how these systems work together in healthy individuals.
