Heart-protective medications after non-cardiac surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of heart-protective medications (a blood thinner, a cholesterol medicine, and a blood pressure medicine) can help people who had a heart injury after non-cardiac surgery reduce their risk of future heart problems. It is a pilot study to see if this approach is practical and safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery that did not involve your heart.
- You had a heart injury after surgery that was likely caused by reduced blood flow to the heart (not by an infection).
- You are not already taking two or more of the study medications (aspirin, statin, or ACE inhibitor/ARB).
- You do not have medical conditions that would make these medications unsafe, such as severe liver disease, active stomach ulcers, or a history of bleeding in the brain.
- You are able to give written consent and follow the trial procedures.

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 follows patients aged 65 and older who have non-heart, non-brain surgery to see how common blood vessel problems (like heart attacks or strokes) are after surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent these complications.
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 tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a medication used for diabetes and weight loss) can reduce heart damage during or after planned non-cardiac surgery. It may help patients with heart risk undergoing intermediate to high-risk procedures.
