Heart scans reveal transfusion effects in anemic seniors
NCT ID NCT06060639
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a blood transfusion changes heart function in anemic patients aged 65 and older who come to the emergency room. Researchers will use ultrasound to check the heart before, right after, and 15 minutes after the transfusion. The goal is to see which heart measurements change the most, helping doctors better understand how transfusions affect the heart.
