New heart scan and blood test could spot hidden damage after bypass
NCT ID NCT07650487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 150 adults having coronary bypass surgery to find out how often hidden heart injury occurs. Researchers use a sensitive blood test (troponin) and heart MRI to detect damage that standard tests might miss. The goal is to improve diagnosis and long-term care after surgery.
