Tracking heart damage after non-cardiac surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether patients experience heart muscle injury during or shortly after non-cardiac surgery. It aims to understand how common this is and what it means for recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had non-cardiac surgery that required general anesthesia.
- You had a blood test to check for heart damage (called hs-cTnT) before or after your operation.
- You are willing to let the research team review your hospital records.
- You are able to give your consent to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether close monitoring of vital signs around the time of non-cardiac surgery can help identify small heart injuries (called perioperative myocardial infarction or injury). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk sooner, especially after certain major surgeries.
This study looks at whether anesthesia can cause heart damage during non-cardiac surgeries. If you have certain health risks, participating may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart.
This study checks for hidden heart damage after major abdominal surgery by measuring a blood marker called troponin. It uses this information to predict and improve outcomes in the 30 days after surgery.
This study follows people after an acute heart attack (AMI) to learn what care is used and what outcomes happen over time. Your information may help doctors optimize how heart attack care is delivered in the future.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
This study looks at how blood-vessel function changes around the time of non-heart surgery, especially in people 45 and older. It may help doctors better understand risks and recovery related to blood-vessel stress during hospitalization.
