Study of blood-vessel health during non-heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows hospital staff and retirees over time to understand how blood vessel diseases (like heart disease, stroke, and circulation problems) develop. It involves regular health checkups and uses that information to spot early signs of disease.
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 looks at how to assess small blood-vessel (microvascular) problems in people who had a heart attack but whose main heart arteries are not blocked. It may help doctors better find what’s driving symptoms and choose the right tests and treatments.
This study looks at how changes in blood flow during major cancer surgery might affect the heart in patients 65 and older. It aims to see if these changes can predict heart damage after surgery, which could help doctors monitor and care for patients better.
This study looks at how well the blood vessels in your arm relax after a heart attack. It uses an ultrasound test on your arm, a heart ultrasound, and some blood tests to see if this can help predict future heart problems.
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.
