NCT ID NCT07098468
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how often heart injury happens after planned knee or hip replacement surgery. Researchers checked blood levels of a heart protein (troponin) before and after surgery in 323 patients over age 45. The goal was to find out which patients are more likely to have this hidden heart damage and what factors might raise the risk.
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 could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for heart injury after joint replacement surgery and take steps to prevent it.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures risk factors and cannot prove what causes heart injury. Results may not apply to all patients.
