This trial tests a combined treatment plan to improve anemia (low blood count/iron levels) before and around the time of major elective heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and support safer recovery.
This study looks at long-term results of giving iron before major heart surgery to people with low iron levels. It aims to see if this treatment helps recovery and outcomes.
This study tests whether taking nicotinamide mononucleotide (a dietary supplement) before and after heart surgery can help reduce complications and improve recovery. It is for people having heart bypass or valve surgery who are at higher risk of problems after surgery.
This trial tests whether taking dietary supplements (like probiotics and omega-3) before and after coronary artery bypass surgery improves your recovery and overall health. If you are having CABG surgery, you may be randomly assigned to receive the supplements or standard care, and your progress will be tracked.
