Carbohydrate drink before heart surgery to protect heart function
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a special carbohydrate drink before heart surgery helps protect your heart during the operation. If you are having coronary artery bypass grafting and your heart's pumping strength is weaker than normal, this drink might improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (open-heart surgery to improve blood flow to the heart).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is less than 50%.
- Your surgery is the first operation of the day (starting around 7:30 am).
- You do not have difficulty swallowing, gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), celiac disease, or type 1 diabetes.
