This study is looking at how exercise affects people with an aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery of the body). Doctors know exercise is good for healthy people, but they don't know what level of exercise is safe for those with an aneurysm. This study will use a special MRI machine called Exercise MRI to watch how your aorta (the main artery) responds to exercise. Researchers will measure things like how flexible your arteries are. They will also compare this information with tissue samples from patients who have surgery for their aneurysm. This study is for adults aged 18 and older, including healthy volunteers and aneurysm patients who have not had surgery yet. The goal is to understand how the aorta reacts to stress during exercise, which could help determine safe exercise levels for aneurysm patients. The study aims to enroll 35 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (Exercise MRI). It plans to enroll 35 participants, including healthy controls and aneurysm patients.

What's involved

You would undergo an Exercise MRI with an ergometer (a stationary exercise machine). The primary endpoint, arterial compliance, will be measured for up to 12 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Arterial compliance will be measured for up to 12 months.
