Glycocalyx and stress in blood vessel function (Part 2)
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (the glycocalyx) and oxidative stress affect blood vessel function after heart bypass surgery. The goal is to better understand why some people recover differently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery.
- You are of European (Caucasian) descent.
- You do not have a serious infection, organ failure, or take high-dose steroids before surgery.

This study looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) and stress in the body relate to blood pressure and kidney health. Doctors want to compare people with high blood pressure and different stages of kidney damage to healthy volunteers.
This study will see if measuring a substance in your blood (glycocalyx) can help doctors predict problems after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to improve care after surgery.
This trial looks at how blood vessels age in people who are having heart bypass surgery. It will help doctors understand changes in the artery wall over time.
This study looks at small particles in your blood to understand why bypass grafts can become blocked after coronary bypass surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and treat this complication by relating blood markers to what happens after surgery.
This trial looks at how vein grafts work in older adults who need coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to understand why grafts sometimes fail, so doctors can improve treatment.
This study looks at what factors affect recovery in people having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find out what helps predict a good recovery.
