Preventing heart damage after non-heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests adding heart-protective medications after noncardiac surgery to see if they can prevent further heart injury. It may help people who had a heart injury after surgery that was not caused by another problem like infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery that was not on your heart
- You had a heart injury after that surgery, likely due to reduced blood flow and not from another cause like infection
- You are not already taking two or more of the following: aspirin or similar, statin, or blood pressure medication (ACEI/ARB)
- You are willing to start new medications if eligible

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether certain patients have heart muscle injury (called MINS) after major liver or bile duct surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, your doctors will check your heart with a special blood test before and after. The goal is to find out who is at risk and help prevent problems.
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 trial tests if a personalized approach with blood thinners and statins can reduce heart risks after non-cardiac surgery. It is for adults 45 and older who had a heart injury during or after surgery.
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 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 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.
