Heart injury after planned back surgery study
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for elective lumbar stabilization surgery (a planned back surgery).
- You have not had heart surgery before.
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 30 days.
- You do not have chronically elevated troponin levels (a sign of ongoing heart stress).

This study looks at how anesthesia, heart-lung machine use, and surgical methods are handled during heart surgery. It may help improve care for people having heart surgery.
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 checks if heart bypass surgery can cause hidden damage to the heart muscle. Participants will get MRI scans before and after surgery to help doctors find and care for this early.
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 checks for hidden heart damage after major abdominal surgery by measuring a blood marker called troponin. It uses this information to predict and improve outcomes in the 30 days after surgery.
