ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Post-Operative Myocardial Incident & Atrial Fibrillation," is investigating how certain factors in patients’ bodies before heart surgery can affect their recovery and risk of serious heart problems afterward. Specifically, the study looks at how white blood cells, fat, and heart muscle characteristics may predict major heart events after procedures like coronary artery bypass surgery or valve replacement. The researchers hope to better understand these connections to improve patient outcomes after surgery.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between the ages of 65 and 74 and scheduled for cardiac surgery or a specific heart valve procedure. Unfortunately, pregnant women, those needing urgent surgery, or individuals who cannot provide consent cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo routine medical evaluations as part of your treatment, and your health will be monitored closely to help gather important data for the research. This trial aims to enhance the care and recovery process for patients undergoing significant heart interventions.
