Blood test may predict heart attack risk during surgery
NCT ID NCT04014647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at whether a blood test called NT-proBNP can help predict serious problems like heart attacks or death in people having vascular surgery. Researchers will measure this marker before and after surgery in 200 patients. The goal is to see if the test can identify who is at higher risk, so doctors can take extra precautions.
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 lead to a simple blood test that helps doctors identify high-risk patients before vascular surgery, potentially reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 200 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The test may not reliably predict outcomes.
