3,000 patients to help uncover why some hearts suffer after Non-Cardiac surgery
NCT ID NCT07179029
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow 3,000 adults aged 40-80 who are at high risk for heart problems and are having non-cardiac surgery. Researchers want to learn how anesthesia and surgery factors, like blood pressure changes and surgery length, may lead to heart injury. The goal is to find ways to better monitor and protect these patients in the future.
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 study could identify key risk factors for heart injury after surgery, leading to better monitoring and prevention strategies for high-risk patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test any new therapy. Results may not apply to all patients or lead to immediate changes in care.
