NCT ID NCT05972356

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how a specific type of heart failure (left ventricular diastolic dysfunction) affects short-term results after heart surgery, especially in women. Researchers will track 1,000 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, comparing men and women to find differences in complications and recovery. The goal is to use this information to improve care for female heart surgery patients in the future.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could point toward better ways to manage heart failure in women before and after heart surgery, potentially reducing complications.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test any new therapy. Results may not lead to immediate changes in care.
