Heart injury risk during below-knee surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery on your leg below the knee.
- You have an ASA physical status classification of I, II, III, or IV (meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to severe health issues).
- You can read and understand information about the study and give your written permission to join.
- You agree to the use of regional anesthesia (numbing only part of your body) for the surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at how changes in blood flow during major cancer surgery might affect the heart in patients 65 and older. It aims to see if these changes can predict heart damage after surgery, which could help doctors monitor and care for patients better.
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.
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 looks at how blood-vessel function changes around the time of non-heart surgery, especially in people 45 and older. It may help doctors better understand risks and recovery related to blood-vessel stress during hospitalization.
