Heart failure patients having bypass surgery are studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced heart pumping strength (EF less than 50%)
- You are scheduled for coronary bypass surgery for blocked coronary arteries in more than one vessel
- You can agree to the study and sign separate permissions for tissue/blood sample collection and genetic testing
- You are not refusing bypass surgery and plan to take part in the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how to predict major heart problems in people with heart failure who are scheduled for bypass surgery (CABG). It aims to improve risk assessment before the procedure.
This study looks at a treatment that affects signals between heart cells in people with severe coronary artery disease who are scheduled for bypass surgery. The goal is to see if changing these heart-cell signals can improve heart outcomes around the time of surgery.
This trial compares two ways to plan heart bypass surgery: a CT scan that measures blood flow (CT-FFR) versus the usual heart catheter X-ray (angiogram). It aims to see which method leads to better outcomes for people with blocked heart arteries.
This trial studies whether a special heart “pressure/flow ratio” test (measured during the procedure) can help doctors choose the best plan for coronary bypass surgery. It may improve how bypass targets the problem blood vessels, but only if certain heart and health factors fit the study rules.
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow to the heart—using stents through a catheter or bypass surgery—in people with heart muscle weakness and blockages in more than one coronary artery. It may help identify which approach leads to better outcomes over at least two years.
