CABG

This study compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stenting (PCI)—in 358 people with weak hearts (ejection fraction 40% or less) and multiple blocked arteries. The goal is to see which approach leads to better survival, fewer heart attacks or strokes, and i…

This study tests whether taking a low dose of colchicine (a medicine used for gout) every day for a year can prevent the new blood vessels created during heart bypass surgery from failing. About 100 adults who recently had bypass surgery will take colchicine or no extra treatment…

This study tests whether a new pain medicine called tafalgin works as well as morphine for pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 100 adults will receive either tafalgin or morphine when their pain level is high. Researchers will measure pain relief and check for side e…

This study looks at 160 people with heart failure who are scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers want to see if a substance in the blood called GDF-15 can help predict who will have serious heart problems later, like a heart attack or stroke. Participants are f…

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can accurately evaluate how well surgeons perform a key step in heart bypass surgery. About 284 patients having their first bypass will have their surgeon's technique analyzed by AI and compared to expert human ratings. The goal is…

This study looks at four simple physical tests—like timed walking and standing up from a chair—to see which one best measures how well people recover after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 150 adults aged 30-50 will be tested on the third and fifth day after surgery. The goa…

This study compares two fluids used to protect the heart during bypass surgery: standard blood cardioplegia and del Nido solution. Researchers will use MRI scans to see which method better preserves heart muscle. 60 adults with multiple blocked arteries will take part.

This study will follow 10,000 adults with heart conditions (like heart failure, heart attack, or heart surgery) who are going through a cardiac rehabilitation program in Davos, Switzerland. Researchers will collect health data, blood samples, and patient reports to understand wha…
