Vitamin b trial aims to cut heart surgery risks
NCT ID NCT07348328
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking vitamin B supplements before and after heart surgery can lower the chance of serious problems like heart attack, stroke, or irregular heartbeat. About 1,000 adults having heart surgery will take either vitamin B or a placebo daily for 6 months after their operation. The goal is to see if this simple addition to standard care improves recovery.
