Heart Monitoring Methods During Pancreas Surgery
This study compares two ways of monitoring your heart function during Whipple surgery (pancreas removal). Doctors will use different monitoring approaches to guide fluid and medication during your operation to help you recover better.
Çankaya, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07537296Recruiting
Heart Imaging Study After Heart Attack
This study uses advanced CT scans to take detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels after a recent heart attack treated with stent placement. The goal is to better understand heart damage and predict long-term outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07082283Recruiting
Atrial pacing and heart function after cardiac surgery
This study looks at how a short burst of electrical pacing to the upper chambers of the heart affects blood flow and heart function after cardiac surgery. It may help doctors find better ways to support recovery.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT07059715Recruiting
Studying blood flow during heart surgery for vasoplegia risk
This study looks at blood flow in small and large vessels during heart surgery to understand and predict vasoplegic syndrome, a dangerous drop in blood pressure. It may help find patients at risk and improve their care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06978660Recruiting
AI-powered ECG test for early cardiac amyloidosis
This trial tests if an AI can spot early signs of cardiac amyloidosis from a standard 10-second ECG. If successful, it could lead to faster diagnosis and treatment.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07549477Recruiting
Heart imaging study for cancer patients with catheter clots
This study uses a special heart imaging test (cardiac MRI) to look for and understand blood clots that may form around central catheters (tubes placed in veins) in people with cancer. The imaging helps doctors see if clots are present and what type they are, which could improve how they care for cancer patients.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05795036Recruiting
Fitbit and text tips to boost walking after heart rehab
This study tests whether a phone-based program (Fitbit plus text messages and calls) helps people walk more during Phase III cardiac rehabilitation. It may help you build safer, healthier physical activity as part of your recovery plan.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT06986187Recruiting
Predicting difficult airways in heart surgery patients
This study measures how often difficult airways occur during heart or blood vessel surgery and builds a way to predict them beforehand. It may help your care team prepare for safer airway management during your procedure.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06089486Recruiting
New Heart Scan for Transplant Patients
This study investigates a new heart scan (called a cardiac PET) to detect early signs of blood vessel disease in heart transplant patients. If you had your transplant 2 to 10 years ago, this scan might be an alternative to the usual yearly checkup with an invasive procedure (angiogram).
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06059976Recruiting
Hypnosis during heart surgery recovery study
This study looks at the use of hypnosis during heart surgery to see how it affects recovery. If you are having major heart surgery and have already had hypnosis sessions before, during, or after the operation, you may be eligible to participate.
