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 patients undergoing bypass surgery for chest pain to track heart injury before, during, and after the operation. It may help doctors better understand and prevent heart complications during this type of surgery.
This study builds a long-term health database of hospital employees to better understand blood vessel diseases. It involves health exams and data collection only.
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 often heart or blood vessel problems happen after surgery that is not on the heart. If you are 65 or older and will stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after your surgery, you may help doctors learn how to better prevent these problems.
This study looks at how blood flow changes during major abdominal cancer surgery in older adults and whether it relates to heart damage after surgery. Participants will have their blood flow monitored during surgery and a blood test 24 hours later.
