NCT ID NCT05859620
First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a new screening system can help doctors find heart complications early in high-risk patients after noncardiac surgery. Researchers will track 900 patients to see how well the screening works in practice and what it costs. The goal is to gather information for a future larger trial, not to test a new drug or treatment.

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 standard screening system that catches heart problems early after surgery, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing costs.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It only measures feasibility and costs, so it won't directly prove that screening saves lives or prevents complications.
