First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tested a drug called angiotensin II to treat a dangerous drop in blood pressure (distributive shock) that can happen during or right after heart transplant or LVAD surgery. The goal was to see if it could reduce the need for other strong blood pressure medicines. Only 2 people were enrolled before the study was stopped early, so no clear conclusions can be drawn.
