ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how blood vessels respond in heart transplant patients over time. Researchers want to understand the way these small blood vessels work, which could help improve the care and evaluation of heart transplant patients. They are particularly interested in using a non-invasive test that looks at blood flow in the skin to provide additional information about a patient's heart health.

The trial is currently looking for participants aged between 18 and 75 who can understand the study and give their consent. However, those who are pregnant, have an active infection, or are using certain devices to assist with circulation cannot take part. If eligible, participants can expect to contribute to important research that may lead to better monitoring and treatment options for people who have received a heart transplant.
