Testing if angiotensin II prevents kidney injury after heart surgery
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called angiotensin II during heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults having certain types of heart surgery who have a higher risk of kidney problems.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT02664831Recruiting
Study of inflammation after cardiac arrest in ICU patients
This trial looks at how the body’s inflammation response behaves after someone has a cardiac arrest and was treated in the ICU. It may help doctors understand which patients could benefit from treatments that target harmful inflammation after resuscitation.

Does admission day affect anxiety before heart surgery?
This study looks at whether the day you are admitted to the hospital for planned heart surgery affects your anxiety levels before the operation. The goal is to help hospitals schedule admissions in a way that lowers stress for patients.
RennesAges 18 years+ - NCT06790394RecruitingPhase 1
Test-Retest PET Scan Study for Heart Amyloidosis
This study uses a special PET scan tracer to see how consistent the images are in people with heart amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal protein in the heart) and in people without the condition. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring.
LondonAges 40 years+ - NCT06786819Recruiting
Recovery app after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether a smartphone app that helps you follow a recovery plan can shorten the time you need to stay in the hospital after coronary artery bypass (heart bypass) surgery. If you are scheduled for this surgery, have a smartphone, and are comfortable using it, this app might help you get home sooner.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06381063RecruitingPhase 3

AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05972070Recruiting
Telemedicine home cardiac rehab after heart procedure
This trial studies whether cardiac rehabilitation done at home, with help from telemedicine, is safe and helps you stick with the program after a recent heart procedure. It may help you recover with more convenience while still improving heart-related fitness and adherence.
Brookfield, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06772025Recruiting
Understanding kidney injury after heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study looks at why some people develop kidney damage after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to help doctors better predict and prevent this complication.
