Blood pressure medications and surgery recovery outcomes
Part of Brain & nervous system, 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 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.
This trial tests how doctors manage blood pressure during major surgery using common medicines (norepinephrine or phenylephrine). It may help by improving safety for people at higher risk of blood pressure drops or complications during surgery.
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
This study checks if a simple measurement from your artery line can predict whether you'll need medication to keep your blood pressure stable right after heart surgery. The goal is to help doctors tailor care so you stay safer during recovery.
