Heart risk during leg surgery: new study uses blood test to spot damage early
NCT ID NCT07241572
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking if a blood test called high-sensitive troponin I can detect heart damage in people having leg surgery with a nerve block. Researchers will measure troponin levels during surgery and at 24 and 48 hours after. The goal is to see if this test can help predict heart problems in these patients.
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 risk of heart damage during leg surgery, leading to better monitoring and prevention.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures a biomarker, so it cannot prove that any intervention reduces heart damage.
