Exercise Therapy to Treat Adults With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Trial ID or NCT#
NCT00349947
Status
NOT RECRUITING
Purpose
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a weakened and enlarged area in the abdominal aorta, which is a large blood vessel in the abdomen. If an AAA ruptures, it can be life-threatening. Research has shown that sedentary individuals are at increased risk of developing AAAs. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise program at limiting the growth of small AAAs in older individuals.
