Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study to assess effect of isosorbide mononitrate with dose up-titration on activity tolerance as assessed by (hip-worn, tri-axial) accelerometry.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To evaluate whether isosorbide mononitrate increases daily activity as assessed by 14-day averaged arbitrary accelerometry units in comparison to placebo.
