Heart failure support before heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if special remote care before heart surgery can improve recovery for people with heart failure. You will have regular check-ins by video or phone to help manage your health before your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) heart surgery
- You have heart failure with a high NTproBNP level (a marker of heart strain)
- You are 18 or older and agree to participate
- You can communicate well and have help at home if needed to share health data
- You do not have severe mental health or addiction issues that would make it hard to follow the program

This study is for people who are getting ready for heart surgery and want to follow a program that helps them prepare and recover. It tests a seamless approach from before surgery through rehabilitation, focusing on exercise and support.
This trial studies whether special care planning before non-cardiac surgery can improve outcomes for older adults with signs of heart stress. If you are 65 or older and scheduled for a moderate- to high-risk surgery, you may be able to join.
This program helps people who are at higher risk of complications after heart surgery get stronger before their operation. It uses video visits to support you while you wait, so you recover better.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before heart surgery can help adults with congenital heart disease recover better. You would join an exercise class 2–3 times a week for several weeks leading up to your operation.
This trial tests a multidisciplinary care approach aimed at helping people with high risk for heart failure get diagnosed earlier. It may help you catch heart failure sooner if it starts, so treatment can begin earlier.
This trial checks a blood test called NT-proBNP (a marker related to heart stress) to help predict outcomes after planned surgery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk so they can tailor monitoring and care.
