Maltodextrin before heart bypass to support heart function
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether drinking maltodextrin before coronary bypass surgery can improve how the heart is functioning during and after surgery. It may help by supporting heart performance in people with reduced heart pumping strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether giving maltodextrin–a type of sugar normally found in some drinks–before surgery can help children recover faster and feel better after their operation. It’s part of a special plan called ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) that aims to make surgery easier on the body.
This trial tests whether a supplement called nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can help people recover better after heart bypass surgery. NMN is related to vitamin B3 and may protect the kidneys and heart during surgery.
This trial tests whether giving a carbohydrate drink before heart bypass surgery helps control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. If it works, it could make recovery smoother.
This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate solution before planned liver transplant surgery helps patients recover better afterward. Researchers believe it may reduce complications and improve healing.
This study looks at whether drinking carbohydrate-rich liquids before surgery helps you recover faster. It is for people with heart conditions, but not for those who need insulin for diabetes.
This trial tests whether taking dietary supplements before and after coronary artery bypass surgery can improve recovery and healthcare quality. It is for people aged 40-80 who are having bypass surgery.
