Study of heart and blood vessel events after non-cardiac surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares continuous vital sign monitoring with standard spot checks for patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery. It aims to see if constant monitoring can improve safety and outcomes.
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 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.
This trial tests if using a home monitoring device after major surgery can help catch problems early. You or your caregiver would take your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) daily and share them with your care team.
This trial is testing a wearable monitor that keeps track of your vital signs after surgery. It is for people who are having non-cardiac surgery and have certain health risks, and will help doctors spot problems early.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
