Heart ultrasound during surgery may predict dangerous complication
NCT ID NCT04045340
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 140 adults having mitral valve surgery to see if a special heart ultrasound measure (called global longitudinal strain) could predict a serious complication called low cardiac output syndrome. Researchers checked ultrasound images taken during surgery and tracked patient outcomes afterward. The goal was to find a better way to identify patients at risk, so doctors can intervene early.
