Heart injury monitoring during bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows patients undergoing bypass surgery for chest pain to track heart injury before, during, and after the operation. It may help doctors better understand and prevent heart complications during this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old
- You need bypass surgery for unstable angina (severe chest pain caused by blocked arteries)
- You have not had a major heart event (like a heart attack or stroke) in the past 6 months
- Your liver and kidneys are working normally
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can tolerate an MRI scan (no metal implants like pacemakers; you're comfortable in enclosed spaces)

This study collects blood samples and images from patients with heart muscle damage or those undergoing coronary angiography. The goal is to find new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at blood-flow patterns and how they relate to heart muscle injury. It may help researchers better understand different types of heart damage by comparing people with and without injury.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to look for blockages in the arteries that can cause chest pain or shortness of breath. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease before and are already scheduled for a catheterization procedure.
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
This study looks at the lymphatic system and heart tissue after a heart attack (STEMI) in people who had prompt catheter treatment. It uses heart MRI to understand healing and may help researchers improve care after a heart attack.
