Heart pump test may predict surgery danger for seniors
NCT ID NCT07454564
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple, non-invasive heart measurement (cardiac power output) can help predict risks after abdominal surgery in people aged 65 and older. Researchers will compare this heart test with a standard surgical risk score. No extra tests or procedures are needed beyond normal care. The goal is to improve safety for older patients undergoing surgery.
