Silent heart damage common after prostate surgery?
NCT ID NCT06273735
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tracked 1000 men with localized prostate cancer who had their prostate removed. Researchers measured a heart protein called troponin before and after surgery to see if the operation caused hidden heart injury. The goal was to learn how often heart problems happen after this surgery and what factors might increase the risk.
