Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Midodrine vs Abdominal Compression on Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Autonomic Failure Patients (NCT NCT04620382)

NCT ID: NCT04620382

Last Updated: 2026-08-07

Results Overview

Change from baseline in upright augmentation index, used as a marker of cardiovascular risk associated with systemic arterial stiffness, wave reflection, and the resulting pulsatile workload imposed on the left ventricle. Higher values suggest greater risk.
