Heart damage after endoscopy in high-risk patients
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether heart damage can happen after a routine scope procedure (endoscopy) in patients who are already at high risk due to other health problems. If you are scheduled for endoscopy and have conditions like heart or lung disease, this trial may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have an upper or lower GI endoscopy as an outpatient.
- You are considered high risk for complications due to other health conditions (ASA class 3 or 4).
- You are not currently having symptoms of a heart attack.
- You have not had a blood clot in the lungs or a severe infection in the past two weeks.
- You do not have severe kidney disease.

This trial looks at when to do a procedure called an endoscopy (a tube with a camera to look at your stomach) for people with heart disease who take blood thinners and have bleeding in their upper stomach. It aims to find the best timing to stop the bleeding and prevent more problems.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
This study compares bleeding after common endoscopic procedures (like colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) between people who take blood thinners and those who don't. It may help doctors better understand risks for patients on anticoagulants.
This study looks at how general health factors (like age and other medical conditions) might affect how long you need to stay in the hospital after a routine stomach or bowel exam called an endoscopy. The goal is to understand which patients may need extra care so hospitals can plan better.
This trial compares two ways to look inside the digestive tract for bleeding in people who have had a heart attack and then developed anaemia. The goal is to find the source of bleeding so it can be treated.
This study looks at whether we can predict or detect stomach and bowel issues that sometimes happen after heart surgery. It might help doctors find and treat these problems earlier, which could lead to a smoother recovery.
