Blood flow changes during cancer surgery and heart health
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how changes in blood flow during major cancer surgery might affect the heart in patients 65 and older. It aims to see if these changes can predict heart damage after surgery, which could help doctors monitor and care for patients better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are scheduled for major abdominal surgery to treat cancer.
- You will have a blood test before surgery and 24 hours after to check for heart damage.
- Your doctors will have complete records of your monitoring during and after surgery.
- You do not have severe heart failure or other serious heart conditions.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.

This study looks at whether a simple blood test and how your heart responds during anesthesia can predict complications after major cancer surgery. It may help doctors better prepare patients for 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 trial compares two ways doctors monitor your body's circulation during colorectal surgery. One method tracks blood pressure; the other tracks how much blood your heart pumps. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This study looks at what causes low blood pressure after anesthesia starts in older patients with cancer who are having surgery. It may help doctors prevent complications.
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 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.
