NCT ID NCT07551648

First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 140 adults having knee replacement surgery to see if the type of anesthesia (spinal or general) changes the heart's electrical activity. Researchers measured heart signals before and after surgery using an ECG. The goal was to understand if one anesthesia method is safer for the heart, but this was an observation-only study, not a treatment trial.
