Heart check during abdominal surgery study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks for silent heart problems in people having abdominal surgery for non-cancer reasons. It aims to see if patients with a silent heart attack during surgery can be identified and helped.

This study checks whether close monitoring of vital signs around the time of non-cardiac surgery can help identify small heart injuries (called perioperative myocardial infarction or injury). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk sooner, especially after certain major surgeries.
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 is looking at whether patients having planned lower back surgery experience any heart stress afterward. It aims to understand how common this is and what might help protect the heart.
This study tracks heart health before and after major surgery for prostate or kidney cancer in older adults. Researchers want to predict which patients might experience heart problems after surgery so they can provide better care.
This trial checks for heart muscle injury during surgery on the lower leg (below the knee). It helps doctors understand how to better protect patients having this type of operation.
This study collects information from people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to learn how to better predict kidney problems after surgery.
