Heart surgery danger: unstable blood pressure linked to brain and kidney damage
NCT ID NCT07324694
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tracks 230 adults having planned heart surgery to see if unstable blood pressure during the operation raises the risk of serious problems like confusion, kidney injury, stroke, or death within 30 days. Researchers will monitor blood pressure dips and use of pressure-raising drugs. The goal is to better understand which patients are at higher risk so doctors can improve care.
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 study could help doctors better manage blood pressure during heart surgery to reduce serious complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all heart surgery patients.
