Researchers seek early warning signs for dangerous lung pressure after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT04947384
Summary
This study aimed to understand how blood markers and heart imaging change in people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) before and after procedures to fix a leaky mitral heart valve. Researchers planned to compare patients with and without pulmonary hypertension to find early signs that might predict if dangerous lung pressure problems would persist after surgery. The goal was to help detect these hidden risks earlier, as they can be fatal and currently have no cure.
