Heart risk check after major abdominal surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure can help predict if patients with heart conditions will have heart problems after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely and prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older.
- You are planning to have or have had major abdominal surgery lasting 2 hours or more.
- You have a history of heart disease, or have had certain heart-related blood tests recently, or have at least two risk factors for heart disease (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol).
- Your medical records are complete and available for review.
- You do not have severe health issues like sepsis, end-stage kidney disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks for hidden heart damage after major abdominal surgery by measuring a blood marker called troponin. It uses this information to predict and improve outcomes in the 30 days after surgery.
This study looks at how well the heart pumps blood to predict recovery after abdominal surgery in people 65 and older. It uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to measure heart power and a standard score to estimate surgical risk.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
This trial checks a blood test called NT-proBNP (a marker related to heart stress) to help predict outcomes after planned surgery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk so they can tailor monitoring and care.
This study checks whether close monitoring of vital signs around the time of non-cardiac surgery can help identify small heart injuries (called perioperative myocardial infarction or injury). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk sooner, especially after certain major surgeries.
This study tracks heart health before and after major surgery for prostate or kidney cancer in older adults. Researchers want to predict which patients might experience heart problems after surgery so they can provide better care.
