Blood pressure medications and surgery recovery outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood pressure medications affect low blood pressure episodes that happen during and after heart surgery. Researchers want to understand if the number of blood pressure drugs you take before surgery changes how your body handles blood pressure during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older
- You need elective (planned, not emergency) heart surgery—such as bypass, valve repair/replacement, or a combination of both
- You have been taking at least one blood pressure medication regularly for at least 4 weeks before surgery
- Your heart's pumping ability (ejection fraction) is 35% or higher
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease
- You do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure at the time of surgery

This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This study looks at how changes in blood pressure during heart surgery affect recovery. If you are having scheduled heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether a simple blood pressure measurement during surgery can predict which older patients may develop high blood pressure after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having planned surgery with a blood pressure monitor placed in an artery, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how changes in blood pressure after heart surgery might affect your recovery. It uses continuous monitoring in the ICU to see if certain patterns are linked to complications.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study looks at how often low blood pressure happens after surgery in the recovery room. It helps doctors understand and better manage blood pressure in patients who just had general anesthesia.
