NCT ID NCT05595954
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether keeping a patient's blood pressure within their personal safe range during heart surgery can reduce brain problems like confusion, stroke, or memory issues. Researchers will monitor 500 patients having heart surgery and track their blood pressure and brain function. The goal is to see if personalized blood pressure management leads to better recovery.
