Summary

This study investigates whether problems in the smallest blood vessels (microcirculation) can predict major complications after heart surgery, such as stroke, kidney injury, or death. Researchers will measure blood flow in the mouth and skin of 100 adults undergoing cardiac surgery, before and after the procedure. The goal is to build a statistical model that could one day help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.

If successful, this could lead to a way to predict serious complications after heart surgery, helping doctors intervene earlier.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a clear link, and any prediction model would need further testing before use.
