Can remimazolam protect heart health during surgery?
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a sedative called remimazolam can help protect the heart during surgery in older adults. If you are 65 or older and having a longer surgery with general anesthesia, this trial may be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are scheduled for surgery that requires general anesthesia (you'll be asleep)
- Your surgery is expected to take 2 hours or longer
- You are healthy enough to be rated as ASA I, II, or III (generally in fair to good health)
- You have not had a stroke, brain bleed, or heart block in the past 3 months
