Could heart failure patients skip some drugs after surgery? new trial investigates
NCT ID NCT07572032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with heart failure caused by a treatable problem, like a blocked artery or a faulty heart valve, can safely wait to start certain heart failure medications after the problem is fixed. About 80 adults whose heart function improved after surgery or a procedure will be randomly assigned to either start the drugs right away or wait 6 months. The goal is to see if waiting is just as good for heart function and overall health, which could help avoid unnecessary medications.
