Heart imaging after bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a new type of CT scan to check how well your heart is recovering three months after coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to see if the scan can detect early problems that might need attention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) only, not combined with valve or aortic surgery.
- You can undergo the special CT scan after your doctors confirm it is safe for you.
- You can understand the study and give written consent to participate.
- You are willing to attend a follow-up visit three months after your surgery.

This trial compares two imaging methods used before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to check for blocked heart vessels. The goal is to see if a CT scan is as good as the standard angiogram and equally helpful for planning surgery.
This study checks if heart bypass surgery can cause hidden damage to the heart muscle. Participants will get MRI scans before and after surgery to help doctors find and care for this early.
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 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 trial tests whether using a special heart CT scan (with blood-flow analysis) can better guide care for people who come to the ER with chest pain and are at medium risk for heart problems. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures and find real blockages sooner.
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
