Heart cell signals after menopause
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how heart cells communicate after menopause. Researchers are looking at a chemical signal called purinergic signaling during heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine
- You are a woman who has gone through menopause
- You have not had this type of heart surgery before
- You do not have a pacemaker or atrial fibrillation
- You do not take estrogen or hormone replacement therapy
- You do not have chronic heart failure or major kidney disease

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 study looks at how estrogen therapy affects heart health in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause). Participants will take a standard estrogen patch and progesterone pill, and researchers will monitor their heart function over time.
This study looks at how menopausal hormone therapy might affect the heart's pumping ability. It may help women who are naturally entering menopause understand if hormone therapy can protect their heart health.
This study looks at how current hormone therapy for menopause affects heart health in women with higher heart risk. It may help doctors understand the safest ways to use these treatments.
This study looks at how menopause and related factors affect heart health in women. It aims to find ways to keep hearts healthy as women go through this transition, and may help guide early actions to reduce heart risk.
This study follows people through menopause to better understand how the body changes and how that may affect heart health risk. You may be asked for health checks over time, as researchers look for factors that increase or protect against heart problems.
