Blood test to predict heart risk during planned surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial checks a blood test called NT-proBNP (a marker related to heart stress) to help predict outcomes after planned surgery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk so they can tailor monitoring and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your surgery is planned (not an emergency)
- Your planned surgery matches one of these types: leg artery reconstructions, aortic aneurysm repair, bypass/endarterectomy procedures in the legs or groin, or planned carotid surgery
- You will receive general anesthesia or regional anesthesia for the surgery
- You can understand the study and give informed consent

This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure can help predict if patients with heart conditions will have heart problems after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely and prevent complications.
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 trial studies whether special care planning before non-cardiac surgery can improve outcomes for older adults with signs of heart stress. If you are 65 or older and scheduled for a moderate- to high-risk surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new blood test that measures how well your blood forms clots. It aims to see if this test can predict bleeding after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, which might help doctors manage bleeding better.
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
This study looks for genetic (DNA) clues that may help predict side effects or complications after heart surgery. If you join, your genome information may be used to understand who is at higher risk and why.
