Effect of Beet Juice Supplementation on Vascular and Inspiratory Muscle Function

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Older adults with coronary artery disease (CAD) have impaired vascular and inspiratory muscle function. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of beet juice supplementation on vascular and inspiratory muscle function in older adults with CAD.
